The world’s most famous museum is now giving guided tours based on Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s “Apes**t” video.
Museum buffs and Beyoncé fans can relive the video in real life, following the Louvre’s art collection based on where the couple filmed.
It’s been just under a month since Beyoncé and Jay-Z dropped their joint album Everything Is Love. In the video, the duo position themselves among the pieces alongside a cadre of dancers. The video included 17 pieces of art, some more recognizable than others like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.
“I think the dancers are just so beautiful, and there’s something very sculptural about them,” Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, the choreographer behind the music video, told Pitchfork. “When they are inside of that space — just right on the stairs or suddenly moving in the group — you have the feeling that they could be those ancient mythological goddesses of the hunt or of wisdom. My projection of that was that they were embodiments of goddesses.”
According to the museum’s website the tour lasts 90 minutes and runs on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
