The iconic queues beneath IM Pei’s glass pyramid, a familiar sight at the Louvre, are set to become significantly more expensive for many international visitors as the world’s most visited museum introduces a new two-tier ticketing system.
The move comes as the Parisian landmark grapples with funding renovations and enhanced security measures, following a series of strikes, persistent overcrowding, and October’s high-profile French Crown Jewels heist. The museum was forced to close its doors again on Monday due to a staff walkout.
