France:
France on Wednesday appointed Laurence des Cars, known for promoting social issues through art, as the new head of the Louvre the first time a woman will be in charge of the world s biggest museum more than two centuries after it first opened.
Des Cars currently runs the Musee d Orsay, the Paris landmark museum dedicated to 19th-century art, where she is already the first-ever woman boss.
Her legacy there includes boosting young visitor numbers and giving art and visitors more physical space.
During her four years at the Orsay, the 54-year old art historian has taken a stance on some controversial topics, including by coming out in favour of restituting works looted by Nazis.
We must reflect society s big issues , says first woman director of Le Louvre
