French authorities say they believe the man who tried to attack the Louvre museum in the capital Paris was a 29-year-old Egyptian man.
Prosecutor Francois Molins said he is thought to have travelled to Paris from Dubai on a tourist visa last month.
Police are trying to establish if the man acted alone or under instructions, he added.
The machete-wielding attacker was critically injured after he was shot by French soldiers in a bid to stop him.
