It is believed some time back during the French Revolution the place was transformed into a public museum. In May 1791, the Assembly had declared that the Louvre would be “a place for bringing together monuments of all the sciences and arts”. On August 1792, Louis XVI was caged and the royal collection in the gallery became national property. Because of fear of vandalism, wreckage or theft, on 19 August 19, 1792, the National Assembly pronounced the museum’s preparation was to be taken on top priority basis. In October, a committee to “preserve the national memory” began assembling the collection for display. The gallery opened on August 10, 1793, the first anniversary of the monarchy’s termination. The public was given free access on three days per week, which was “perceived as a major accomplishment and was generally appreciated”.
