What part of the Louvre Palace is the Louvre Museum?

Where can I find pieces of Jewish art that are still in the Louvre Museum in France?

• There is a controversy about how Jewish art was stolen by the Nazis. The Louvre Museum still has some pieces of Jewish art. I would like to know which pieces are Jewish art, because I might do a project on this aspect of the Louvre Museum.

• Answer:

  Do you mean artists who happened to be Jewish? Or specifically Jewish artist producing 'Jewish' images? http://www.stay.com/paris/museum/9399/museum-of-jewish-art-and-history-musee-d-art-et-histoire-du-judaisme/ 'Jewish' art is kept in the above museum. The collection of art works actually in The Louvre building only goes up to a certain date in history, when artists were not generally Jewish (or if they were, they were baptised to become acceptable to Society). There are, of course, many paintings of Old Testament subjects, but I don't think that is what you are looking for. All public museums and galleries in France are part of the National collection, and there are many pieces of more modern art in public collections made by Jewish artists, but not in the Louvre building.
