Louvre Director Warns of Structural Issues and Overcrowding at Iconic Museum
- The head of the Louvre, Laurence des Cars, warned about leaks, overcrowding, and sub-standard catering in a memo to Culture Minister Rachida Dati, which raised alarm about the museum's state.
- The Louvre had 8.7 million visitors last year, about twice its designed capacity, leading des Cars to express concern about the user experience.
- Des Cars has implemented a daily visitor cap of 30,000 and extended opening hours to manage crowding, as tourists frequently complain about long queues for the Mona Lisa.
- Des Cars criticized the museum's glass pyramid for its 'major shortcomings' and emphasized the need for upgrades to address poor conditions and insufficient facilities.
