The Louvre museum will be well renovated and we already know a little more about the future changes. The Mona Lisa should be moved and an additional ticket will be requested to have access.
Visitors to the Louvre may be able to admire the Mona Lisa without being in the middle of a crowd, far from the painting, with dozens of phones who photograph the work in a few years. Indeed, following the alert launched by Rachida Dati on the museum state, Emmanuel Macron made several announcements on the renovations of the Louvre at the end of January. Laurence des Cars, the president of the Louvre, made details this Sunday, February 2, at the microphone of France Interabout the site which should end in 2031.
“The idea is to have a Louvre ticket which gives you access to the permanent collections and the exhibitions,” she explained to our colleagues, “if you wish to see the Mona Lisa, it will be this post more ‘Access to the Mona Lisa “.
Two separate tickets
At the end of the work, a visitor who wishes to have access to the museum and see the Mona Low will therefore have to take two tickets. We do not yet know the price of these. But those who know the Louvre museum well realize that in the state, it is difficult to limit access to the work of de Vinci once entered the museum. Indeed, the table is in the middle of a room in which other paintings are exposed.
So the Mona Lisa should be moved to be “autonomously accessible compared to the rest of the museum and endowed for this reason with a clean access title,” said Emmanuel Macron. It will be “probably under the square courtyard,” said Laurence des Cars, for “a dedicated space that will allow visitors to finally look calm this painting”. The director of the museum also said “assuming the exceptional status of the Mona Lisa”.
