A Museum of Wonders: Children’s Books as Attachment Objects Linked to the Museum Space. The Case of the Éditions du musée du Louvre
Un musée des merveilles : le livre jeunesse comme vecteur d’attachement au lieu muséal. L’exemple des éditions du Louvre
Résumé
Between 2016 and 2020, a collection of picture books published by the Louvre deconstructed the institution’s intimidating and austere reputation, by showing young readers a made-over image of the museum. In these books, young protagonists develop intimate relationships with the artwork and undergo character development in a museum that appears to be a place of wonders. By fostering art preferences based on lucky happenstance in turn facilitated by belonging to a milieu of insiders, some of these books tend to disqualify the ordinary museum visiting experience.
