Louvre Museum Renovates and Redesigns with New Exhibition Spaces for Iconic Artworks

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to redesign, restore, and expand the Louvre Museum in Paris. The project involves relocating the Mona Lisa, the world's most famous portrait, to a special exhibition space. According to Macron, the move aims to rebalance the visitor experience and make the museum more accessible to Parisians. The redesign also includes a new grand entrance to alleviate congestion at the current pyramid entry point. The Louvre's Director, Laurence des Cars, has stated that the current building is deteriorating and that the museum is often overcrowded. The exact scope and timeline of the project are unclear, but Macron's announcement suggests a comprehensive overhaul of the museum.
