Titled "The Louvre and the Masterpiece," the last leg of the three-year partnership challenges viewers to define what constitutes a masterpiece and explores how that definition has evolved over the years
"We are attempting to explore this fundamental question in the field of art, a question that has no definite answer, 'What is a masterpiece?'" said Louvre director Henri Loyrette at a preview earlier this week of the exhibit. . . .
The Find the Forgery gallery allows visitors to play museum curator. After examining two heads, one made of black stone and the other of blue glass, they can use one of four interactive screens to go through the process that Louvre curators used to determine in 2002 that one of the two pieces, both from the department of Egyptian antiquities, was a forgery.
