On Thursday, the French federal government banned community gatherings of much more than 100 folks in a bid to halt the spread of the new coronavirus. French educational facilities, daycares and universities are also becoming closed.
The non permanent shut down comes less than two weeks after the museum was forced to shut for two times, around employees issues about the rising spread of COVID-19.
The Louvre attracts tens of thousands of visitors each day and, in 2019, noticed much more than 9.five million visitors, nearly a few-quarters of whom arrived from abroad.
The museum is offering refunds to those people who acquired progress tickets to the famed art museum.
