Summary/Abstract: The Ghosts of the Louvre by Enki Bilal embodies an exhibition of this artist which took place in this same place. The author offers an unusual visit to the museum: he has chosen works from which he brings up so many ghosts. The artist juxtaposed the ghosts and the photographs taken and built a biography for each protagonist. Using geocriticism, we will answer the following questions : how does the author take over the museum to build multiple and heterogeneous parallel worlds? How does the museum become both a place of terror and of admiration ?
