the newly constituted louvre became napoleon's domain. he commissioned france's finest artists to glorify his deeds. the most celebrated was jacques louis david. disappointed with the aftermath of the revolution, david had sworn never to trust in men again-- only in ideas, yet he was fascinated by napoleon and quickly succumbed to his spell. when he first met the young general, he said, "oh, my friends "what a beautiful head he has. "it is pure. it is great. "it is as beautiful as the antique. yes. bonaparte is my hero." decades before the revolution the encyclopedist diderot had suggested the louvre be used for the public display of the royal collections. afterwards, in 1793, it opened as the museum central des arts. then came the brief but dazzling era of the musee napoleon filled with loot of his campaigns. here david presented his newly finished canvas, the sabine women. it tells of the reconciliation between warring tribes-- the romans and the sabines effected by a central allegorical female figure. art historian ewa burcharth explai

i have not been here to relax since i took those photos. >> the louvre rats are gone or now.oncerned about its image, the museum deployed twice as many exterminators as usual this past summer and has the park cleared of trash each day, but soon, the world will not be looking so mostly, and the rats may slip out of their hiding holes again. >> now to greece, just over a year ago, greece's state broadcaster was suddenly shut down. the aim was to show international lenders that greece was serious about economic reforms. the station had been accused of exorbitant pay for star reporters and managers, but greek people were shocked to see the news suddenly replaced by a black screen, so the journalists decided to simply keep on broadcasting. >> radio station ert no longer exists. it was close to 15 months ago. police forced everyone out of its building in athens in november, 2013, triggering massive road test and riots, but the building remained empty. today, the new state radio station broadcasts from here with reduced staff and pro-government talk shows all day. andrea's work here

the building became known, not surprisingly, as the louvre colonnade.errault was determined that his columns should not be decorative elements, but as, he thought, in ancient greek architecture, the supports of the building-- strong structural supports. he introduced engineering of a very high order into his design. the columns are threaded through with bars of iron, which are linked to crossbars in the ceiling and anchored into the walls behind. here is the initial idea that led to the development of reinforced concrete in the 20th century. almost 100 years later, exactly these same ideas were taken up by another architect-- soufflot--when he was commissioned to build the grandest, the noblest church in all of europe-- sainte genevieve, called the pantheon today. actually, you can even see it from here. tradition and reason were also soufflot's concerns. he, too, used freestanding columns to mark out his space and also to do the actual work of supporting the vaults and dome. he wanted to combine the structural elegance of a greek temple with the lightn

>> i suppose the idea evolved -- we met and bonded over lunch in a restaurant over the louvre.ed and said we would do conversations about what is a museum? then, philippe suggested it would be more fresh to respond to the works as we passed them. >> that is true because i tend to look at museums of containers of works of art. the content has always interested me more than the container. we looked at art and we talked about it. that our idea is reactions, our response to works of art could be translated at least in part into words and conceivably be helpful and useful to the reader. >> did the two of you find there is some basic difference in how you approach this or how you did you find out surprising things about each other in your reaction to art? >> we certainly have different responses torent individual works. on the whole, we did stay pretty much with very high quality works in the british museum, the louvre, museums in holland and florence. we were not experimental in the terms of the works we were seeking but maybe perhaps with antiquities. >> i was apprised in new -- ph

you go to the louvre or the great museums of the world and you see large format. it is not something new. it also always changes. 30 years ago, you did not see these kinds of massive sizes. today, there are many museums that are built many large spaces. many collectors expand possibilities. it is more difficult and challenging. when we opened this, we wanted to do something where we give our artist a chance to work limitless. when you do exhibitions, you feel like the artist have to adapt their vision to our space. then, they can do whatever their dream is and whatever there size -- whatever their size demands. >> lawmakers are pushing for a new law that could see people collectors paying wealth tax on the artwork. this is a new thing for france. if it does go through, how do you think it will affect market? >> it would be difficult. almost a disaster for the market. coming in to the debate every couple of years, since 20 years i am in france, paris. there's always the threat of this tax and then it is abolished. it will be the wrong signal. contemporary art does

first of all we met and we were at a restaurant over the seine from the louvre.uple chapters. and we started off we thought we'd have conversations about what is a museum. and then philippe i think suggested it be more fun and fresher to just go to galleries and respond to the works as we were partners. >> that's true. because i tend to look at museums as containers of groups of arts. and the contents interested me more than the container. so we looked at art and we talked about it. we would discuss it. and the whole idea is that our reactions, our response to works of art were things that could be translated at least in part into words and conceivably helpful, useful for the reader. >> rose: did the two of you find that there's some basic difference in how you approach this or how you approach art or did you find out surprising things about each other in your reaction to art? >> we certainly have different taste, different responses to individual works of art. but on the whole, you know, there's, we did stay pretty much with very high quality works in the prado

the louvre and versailles said to stay open seven days a week. culture lovers are thrilled. some unions are not. police in hong kong say there will be serious consequences if those testers try to occupy government buildings. that is after protest leaders said they were ready to move-in and if the leader did not step down today. thousands took to the streets after beijing said it would vet any candidate. for the latest, let's bring in our correspondent. first of all, it is evening there now. are the protesters getting ready to move -- will they hold to this ultimatum to occupy government buildings? sorry. we seem to have lost our correspondent in hong kong. we will get back to him in a moment. let's first look at the protests today. >> after finding relief where they could they set up for another day of protests promising they are unit for the long haul. >> -- are in it for the long haul. >> some people might go back to work, but some students think they should stay here. >> the chief executive in hong kong has accepted the beijing stipulation that only candidates vetted by t

laugh louvr( laughter ) i assume. >> that's the story. >> jon: that's the story i've been telling people individual involved, do you feel disassociated? was it emotional in the sense of watching yourself through that process? do you recognize yourself as a young boy in that? what's the feeling? >> yeah, the first-- that first time i watched it, i watched it alone before sundance, and it was. it was very much about myself. you know, i was kind of almost unaware of the rest of the story and all of that. it was very much just about watching myself grow up, you know, change physically and emotionally and kind of seeing these different, you know, parts of my life that were projected on the screen. i've seen it several times since then, and it's become easier to, you know, kind of take my ego out of it and view it more as a film and more as an exploration of the passage of time and all of that, which i think is more what it's about than -- >> it's an incredible piece of art. it's an incredible film. i think almost most impressively about it is that somehow rick knew when he met you, that you w

the louvre had been emptied by the french before the germans got there. more lisa was spirited off. many of the great paintings had been spirited off by the french. when the germans got there there was nothing there but boring statues and empty walls. and then, for instance, when hitler made it tore he did not even stop. there was nothing there to see. the germans knew where most of the stuff was, but many of those museums in europe had been empty beaches the europeans realized that museums are vulnerable to air attack. many of the great museums and galleries, national gallery's or emptied and spread out over the country because of the fear of destruction. yes, sir. this gentleman here. that gentleman there. all right. that's a common air. a. >> can you hear? >> yes. >> obviously a writer. he stayed in paris during the war. >> part of the time. how the war affected him and his outlook on life and his later writings? and did he participate in their resistance at all? >> that was a good question. trying to get out of france. considered himself an algerian. french born, french family.

only the louvre in paris beats us out. air and space, i believe, is number three. these are very, very popular institutions. also, l'enfant had put in his plan the maddening circles that today we have to drive around, but they were meant -- circles and parks -- to beautify the city and to give the american public a place to promenade, a place to appreciate. one of the things in this book, although it lived in washington for 30 years, that i never realized -- they are all named after civil war heroes. scott, thomas, logan, mcpherson. what am i missing? you know, just one after the other, these were civil war generals. dupont. civil war generals -- seward was secretary of state. this all came about in the second half of the 19th century. finally, there was some money, and there was the commitment to washington of the capital to populate these circles and make them a thing of beauty. most of them are still a thing of beauty today. if you need a little bit of an upgrade. -- a few need a little bit of an upgrade. it was really in the 20th century that washington became
