description This essay will explore, through two exhibitions, a key moment in the history of the Laboratoire du Musée du Louvre. Founded in 1931 under the supervision of the Department of Paintings of the Louvre, then closed on the eve of the Second World War, the department was reopened in 1946. It was headed by Madeleine Hours, a former volunteer, who was determined to ensure its revival. Her ambitious policy was innovative on several accounts. With the exhibitions Hommages à Léonard de Vinci (1952) and Rembrandt, étude photographique et radiographique (1955), she made a new type of document with a didactic aim for viewing by the public and thus contributed to making her department an indispensable tool for the art historian, while ensuring the renown of the Laboratoire du Musée du Louvre in France and abroad.
