One of the most visited museums in the world finally has a little breathing room for renovations.
Before the coronavirus pandemic, the Louvre saw up to 30,000-40,000 visitors a day, or almost 10 million visitors a year. In fact, the museum staff walked out in May 2019 to protest overcrowding.
The pandemic has certainly slowed things down for the museum which is home to collections covering 9,000 years of history.
The Louvre closed on Oct. 30 for France’s second coronavirus lockdown. It is still uncertain when the museum will reopen, but in the meantime, employees are working on long-overdue renovation and maintenance projects.
