In this fanciful and richly imaginative story, one of the most original and important young European comic artists imagines a frozen world thousands of years hence in which all human history has been forgotten. A small group of archaeologists come upon the Louvre, buried in age-old snow, and cannot begin to explain all of the artifacts they see. Their interpretations of the wonders before them strike a humorous, absurd, and farcical tone. One of the few books coedited by the Louvre, this graphic novel features stunning illustrations as it presents a unique vision of the great museum.

Nicolas De Crécy is a comic artist whose work includes Bug Jargal, Foligatto, León la Came, Salvatore 1: Transports of Love, and Salvatore 2: An Eventful Crossing. He also contributed to the feature film La Vieille Dame et les Pigeons.
