It intended to promote French culture and values while consolidating its presence and communication in the sinophone world. Its Weibo account has become, since 2016, one of the most influential foreign museum accounts on the Chinese internet. By using a netnographic approach, we observed all the posts issued by the Louvre Museum on Weibo throughout 2019 (N=352).
