A number of the world's great art museums — such as Dresden and the Hermitage, the Prado and the Florentine galleries, and the museums of Munich and Vienna — have inherited the core of their collections from nobility and royalty. Others, established in the XIX-th and XX-th centuries — the former Kaiser Friedrich Museum in Berlin for example, the London National Gallery, the New York Metropolitan Museum and, more recently, the Washington National Gallery — have been built up gradually as the result of private donations and reasonably consistent purchase policies. Yet the Louvre belongs to neither category, or rather to both.
