A restorer from the Restoration of Museums of France (C2RMF) research center explains the operation of the AGLAE (Louvre accelerator of elemental analysis), an apparatus for the chemical analysis of art and archaeological pieces, at the labs of the Louvre museum in Paris on May 16, 2015 during the 2015 European Night of Museums. The European museum night was created in 2005 by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication, with the closing time of the museums postponed to approximately one in the morning, allowing the public to visit the participating museums by night, for free.
