Louvre Museum in need of upgrade after complaints of leaky facilities and overcrowding

ai generated text

Laurence des Cars, the new director of the Louvre, has expressed concerns about the condition of the museum. She notes that the Louvre is failing to cope with its eight million annual visitors, describing it as an "edifice" that is "crumbling". The museum's infrastructure is struggling to handle the large number of visitors, with des Cars describing it as a "physical ordeal". She has written a memo to the Culture Minister, Rachida Dati, warning of the "proliferation of damage" in the museum spaces.

    1. I want the Louvre to be, again, an exciting place in terms of cultural programming.
    2. Elevated to iconic status, the Mona Lisa has inspired unwavering fascination for decades. As a result of the popular excitement, the public flows through the room … without being given the key to an understanding of the artist's work.
    3. On very hot days, the glass roof creates a greenhouse effect, making this space very inhospitable for the public who pass through and the agents who work there.
    4. Visiting the Louvre is a physical ordeal; accessing the artworks takes time and is not always easy.
    5. The food options and restroom facilities are insufficient in volume, falling well below international standards. The signage needs a complete redesign.
    6. Visitors have no space to take a break. The food options and restroom facilities are insufficient in volume, falling below international standards. The signage needs to be completely redesigned.

    1. While the public has increased by more than 20% since 2009, the palace has not grown … the situation is untenable.
