The Louvre, the largest and probably also because of the most visited museum in the world, had recently become a visited museum in the world for buildings and overcrowding. Now his boss provides a new protest: a surcharge must be introduced for the famous “Mona Lisa”.
If you want to see the Renaissance painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, you should buy a special ticket in addition to the map for the other exhibitions, said director Laurence of the car on Sunday in France Inter.
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Tuesday “colossale” renovation work. Among other things, a new monumental input and a separate exhibition space for the “Mona Lisa” must be built, which must also be accessible, regardless of the rest of the museum.
20,000 visitors a day
About 20,000 visitors wonder every day about the famous painting. De Haast hinders the visit to the exhibitions near the “Mona Lisa”. The new entrance on the eastern facade of the Louvre must be inaugurated in 2031. To finance the project, the admission price for non-EU outders must be increased, Macron said. Moreover, customers must be tried as sponsors.
The Elysée placed the costs of the planned work with 700 to 800 million euros over a period of ten years. In the long term, up to twelve million Louvre visitors per year can be expected, today there are nine million.
