French President Emmanuel Macron has presented renovation plans for the Louvre, the world’s most-visited museum. The famous museum has fallen into disrepair and suffers from overcrowding.
Renovations are expected to take nearly a decade and will include a new entrance and a dedicated room displaying the Mona Lisa. The aims: to bring the museum up to modern standards in a time of international mass tourism, heightened security requirements and climate change.
Macron also announced that the Mona Lisa, which is one of the most famous of the estimated 35,000 works of art in the Louvre’s collection, would be relocated to its own new, independently accessible and ticketed space.
