According to Macron, the fact that it contains a huge aging infrastructure that includes overhaul of aging infrastructure around the museum is partially partially increased by increasing the ticket prices of visitors other than Europe. He says he will be paid.
The goal is to welcome a lot of visitor (Macron sets 12 million visitors a year) in a much better condition than today.
He added that the Ministry of Culture will hold an international architectural tournament this year, and the new entrance is expected to end up in the latest state by 2031.
“The Louvre is redesigned and restored, and it will be the epicenter of our country and after that,” he said carefully choreographed, and the famous gaze of Monarisa peeps from behind him. He said he had put it in.
Already, the museum has concluded 30,000 attendees. The 30,000 were designed in the last major overhaul of the museum via Louvre Pyramid, a structure of glass and steel designed by architect IM PEI in the 1980s. The entrance was to welcome half of the current visitors.
Estimated 80 % of these crowds are coming to Monarisa. This is a magnet of a large number of tourists who suck self -portraits that have a headache of the crowd.
Macron stated that a dedicated room for Mona Lisa would be one of some new exhibition spaces, created under the Course Care, the easternmost courtyard of Louvre, and connected to an existing museum. Monarisa added that it could be accessed separately from other museums and added it with its own tickets.
The large -scale renovation announced by Macron is a delicate time for France. France is suffering from political turmoil and is currently facing the intense bodily belt strength. Macron said that a new entrance would be paid by the museum, but did not provide a detailed breakdown of the overall renovation costs.
The Louvre Museum, the former palace, which was the home of the King of France until 1682, is more than the attraction of tourists. It is a symbol of French cultural influence and is an important instrument for the French nation.
For Macron, who is weakening in Japan, a stamp on the ruble is a way to hone his heritage -Experts say -The Finals of Paris paid in the end of the Nutre Dame Cathedral was damaged. Telled the same as his five -year bet on recovering.
“He wants to end it in the Louvre at the Louvre Museum and end it in the Louvre,” said Julian Lucage, the president of the Site E -Monument, in front of glass and steel. He talked about Macron who gave a speech. 2017 pyramid.
The iconic pyramid is a footprint left by Macron's predecessor as François Mitterland, the president who outsourced the structure in the 1980s.

Some critics say that Macron had declined politically and could not run in the third term in 2027 -Louvre in the hope of maintaining his heritage. I did it.
A labor union, which represents a part of the 2,300 employees of the museum, has acknowledged that it needs to be renovated, but creating a completely new entrance is not the right correction.
One of the labor union, Sud-Solidaires, said in last week's statement that “Mammoth Project”, like a new entrance, “Mammoth Project” “will never solve the problem”, but “definitely Emmanuel Macron can adopt the role of the Savior. I will do it. ” I really like him. “
Macron's office claims that personally involved in the Renovation Museum is not a policy of acquiring political points, but part of his duties.
“His role is to protect all of the national heritage, pride, and influence,” he permits to maintain French practices and speak publicly prior to Macron's speech. A non -presidential bureaucrat said on Monday.

Lakazaze, a heritage expert, said that the museum was hardly different, but it was necessary to manage the flow of visitors. Near the sky.
“This is the world's largest museum, but tourists will see five art works,” he said. The museum added that it should be more to advertise the huge collection. Because the visitor peels off the most lively attractions.
Macron said on Tuesday, and said that the newly renovated museum emphasized art education and doubled the number of students to 900,000 per year.
Nevertheless, Rakazaze has argued that it is better to make the most of the Louvre Museum of Art, which is already “before the huge expenditure”.
