The president of the Louvre said the museum faces possible closure if it does not undergo renovation, a year after the crown‑jewels heist.
- Renovation is deemed essential to preserve the museum’s infrastructure and visitor experience.
- The warning follows the high‑profile theft of crown jewels that occurred 12 months ago.
- Officials fear that without upgrades, the Louvre could lose its status as a leading cultural institution.
- Funding and planning for the refurbishment remain under discussion among French authorities.
