Louvre Museum shuts for day amid strike

The Louvre Museum was forced to close on Monday due to strike action from staff in the latest disruption at the world’s most-visited museum.

Axar.az reports, citing France 24, “Due to public strikes, the Musee du Louvre is closed today,” the museum said in a message posted on its website, informing disappointed tourists and art lovers that their entry tickets would be automatically reimbursed.

The museum closed for a full day last month and has been only partially open on several other days since.

Nearly three months after a daylight heist, which has heaped pressure on Louvre bosses, staff are calling for more recruitment and better maintenance of the vast former royal palace.
