Graphic display specialist Leach has helped bring a prestigious art exhibition to life at the iconic Louvre museum in France.

Huddersfield-based Leach – part of the global Chargeurs Group – provided the backdrop for a 600-strong event at the world-renowned glass pyramid venue.

The project saw four double-sided, free-standing Lightwalls make the 470-mile journey from Huddersfield to Paris for an immersive evening which aimed to draw young people into the world of art.

French actor Fabrice Luchini – ambassador of The Société des Amis du Louvre – unveiled the visual spectacle last week, in partnership with Chargeurs’ Philanthropies Foundation.

Two of Leach’s Lightwalls at the Louvre


Leach’s illuminated displays were used to highlight classical masterpieces by Jean-Dominique Ingres, with the exhibit showcasing masterpieces from the likes of Rembrandt, Eugène Delacroix and Matthias Grünewald.

Manufactured at Leach’s 30,000 sq ft site in West Yorkshire, the Lightwalls were also designed to direct the flow of traffic during the busy evening.

Leach’s managing director James Lavin said: “We have worked on some brilliant international arts and heritage briefs throughout our 127 years in business, but for our displays to be installed within a Louvre exhibit has to be up there as one of our favourites.

“With the Lightwalls up to 4.5m wide by 2.5m tall, they provided a disruptive visual set for Luchini’s seminar. We hope that they contributed to the dynamic experience and inspiration that the youngsters gained on the night.”
