Tech Required: Archaeology
Production Cost: 750
What it Does: Must Adopt Exploration. Free Great Artist. Contains 4 Slots for Great Works of Art and provides +2 Culture to the City.
Strategies
The Louvre is a great building for a Cultural Victory, but primarily if you are able to get the theming bonus, which is something you should start working on in the mid-game by trading art with other Civs (or conquering Cities to get their Great Works). In order to get its bonus, which can equal +8 extra tourism/culture (16 for France) you must have 4 slots filled, 2 with Great Works of Art and 2 with Artifacts from Archaeologists, all from different Eras and Civs.
To Trade Great Works, head to your Cultural Overview and pick the tab to Swap Great Works. There, you can trade works of writing and art with other Civs and see what they're offering for trade. While one piece of Art from your own Civ will be helpful, the other piece of Art and two Artifacts should come from others. Getting this theming bonus as France will get you a Steam Achievement.

In game, how do see the "theming bonus" ? I mean, it's not written anywhere so I don't know.
Can you screenshot to show me?
Thanks a lot :) !
