Speaking directly in front of the famed painting
MONA LISA,
French President Emmanuel Macron stated,
"The Louvre will be redesigned and restored to
become the epicenter of art history for our country
and beyond" -- already authorities have capped the
daily attendance at 30,000 people; the entrance
through the glass-steel Louvre Pyramid was
intended at its design to welcome half the visitors
it currently does.
The Louvre was originally a palace for French
kings until 1682 . . . now hosting ~9 million
visitors annually. With improvements a possible
total of 12 million might visit annually in the future.
