The exhibition two years ago of works by Monet from France's Musee Marmottan was the first time that a foreign museum has lent works for an exhibition at the National Palace Museum, and this year's visit by such a large number of paintings from the Louvre is an even greater event.
兩年前法國瑪摩丹美術館的莫內畫作登台，開了外國博物館來故宮借展的先例；今年羅浮宮帶著大批畫作來訪，更是盛事一樁。
