Mission

American Friends of the Louvre is a tax-exempt 501(c)3 organization dedicated to supporting the Musée du Louvre and advancing French culture in the United States through a dynamic membership program and philanthropic support.

To date, more than $60 million has been raised in support of the museum. It was established in 2002 to strengthen ties between the Louvre and the American public and to formalize the longstanding generosity of American patrons. Through its support, AFL raises awareness of the Louvre’s collections and museum expertise and helps make the Museum’s exhibitions and permanent collections more accessible in the U.S. and around the world.
