Toshiba Corporation recently completed the first stage of a project to replace the external lighting at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France, with LED lighting. The first stage involved the lighting inside the iconic central Pyramid, as well as the three surrounding pyramidions (small pyramids) and a section of the facade of the Colbert pavilion, part of the main museum building. The lighting was switched on during a ceremony on December 6, 2011, by Norio Sasaki, president and CEO of Toshiba Corporation, and Henri Loyrette, director of the Louvre Museum.
