Renovation Plans for the Louvre Museum
French President Emmanuel Macron announced renovation plans for the Louvre, including a new entrance and a dedicated room for the Mona Lisa, to bring the museum up to modern standards and relieve overcrowding. The project, named Louvre Nouvelle Renaissance, is expected to take nearly a decade and cost up to 800 million euros. Access will become more expensive for visitors from outside the EU starting January 2026.
