Mona Lisa to be moved as part of major Louvre overhaul

The Mona Lisa will be transferred to a new display space in the Louvre Museum in Paris as part of a plan to renew the world’s most frequency museum.

Emmanuel Macron stood in front of the masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci, where he announced an audience of personalities, with the change that will be presented by 2031 and directed visitors separately to see the painting.

The French President was defining his new renaissance project, which will also include an international competition for a second entrance design to reduce the increasing pressure of visitors’ numbers under the famous glass pyramid.

Customs tariff changes will also be provided next January, so the population other than the European Union – including tourists in the United Kingdom – will also pay more to the visit.

Macron was giving his response to warnings from Lawrence Dis output that the museum was suffering from serious problems in overcrowding and failed infrastructure.

In a message to the government, which was published earlier this month, Ms. Dess Cars said that the pyramid – which since 1989 included a unique access point to the exhibitions – was “structurally able to overcome” with the number of visitors that now reach more From nine million a year.

“In the opinion of everyone, the Mona Lisa showed … it is something to look at,” she said.

About three quarters of the museum’s daily visitor, go to see the Leonardo Da Vinci painting, but the experience has become a test of endurance, as a continuous crowd is converted via SL de Etes and gets 50 seconds on average to monitor the image and take the image pictures.

“The audience … has no way to understand the artist’s work, which raises questions about our full task of public service,” said Ms. Des Karz in her message.

Under the Macron Project, the museum’s eastern interface – which consists of today from a classic colonic expanded by an artificial trench and a small use series – will be redesigned.

A new entrance will allow immediate access to new areas of underground exhibitions below Courtré, which will in turn continue with the area below the pyramid.

Macron said that the new front – the biggest change in the museum since the Bransua Mitran project in Lovri in Grand Lovri 40 years ago – will be linked to the city’s plans to create a “green” area filled with trees on Esplanade.

He said he would help integrate the museum into the city and “bring it back to the Parisians.”

He added that removing the Mona Lisa from its current location would allow the museum to provide it properly, and facilitate the display of other masterpieces, which “are often ignored”, offered in Salle Des Etats.

The main renewal work will also be implemented in the coming years to update the infrastructure, providing the toilet, restaurant and new comfort.

The total cost is placed in several hundred euros.

Macron said that the project will not cost the taxpayer anything, as it will be funded through ticket sales and donations and the museum’s sponsorship agreement with the Louvre Abu Dhabi.

His powers have reduced greatly since it lost control of the French parliament six months ago, and the president has been looking for a new issue to ensure his legacy.

His leadership in the post -shooting renovation of the Notre Dame Cathedral has sparked his appetite for similar Grand Burgit In the Louvre Museum.
