Staff at the Musée du Louvre yesterday staged another walk out, citing concerns around working conditions and infrastructure and demanding that controversial plans for a new entrance be scrapped. The action led the the Paris museum to close on Monday morning before partially reopening at noon. Some of the museum's most iconic works, including the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace were then accessible, while all other galleries remained closed.
