The Musee du Louvre's Department of Near Eastern Antiquities is exceptionally hosting ten major artefacts from New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), during the closure for renovation of its Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art. In its permanent galleries, the Louvre has created with The Met a unique dialogue between these two collections. Dating from between the end of the fourth millennium B.C. and the fifth century A.D., the Met's works, as exceptional guests, introduce remarkable correspondences with the Louvre's collections, either because they form a pair reunited for the first time on this occasion, or because they complement each other due to the specificities linked to the respective histories of the two collections. From Central Asia to Syria, often passing through Iran and Mesopotamia, these dialogues between Near Eastern antiquities will allow to (re)discover in a different way these remarkable multi-millennial artefacts and the histories to which they bear witness.
