The Musee du Louvre's own online collection database is a primary institutional catalogue record. Its strength is direct curatorial authority: for an object it holds, the museum's own catalogue entry is the most reliable source for accession details, provenance and current attribution. Its limit is that a catalogue record is not a scholarly study or interpretation of an object's meaning or use, which should be sought in dedicated art historical or archaeological scholarship.
