President Emmanuel Macron announced a major renovation plan for the Louvre Museum in Paris, which includes relocating the Mona Lisa to a new exhibition space. This decision is part of a broader strategy to alleviate overcrowding, as the museum sees nearly nine million visitors annually. To further improve visitor experience, a new entrance will be established on the eastern facade. Macron described this initiative as a 'new renaissance' for the renowned cultural institution, which is noted for the glass-and-steel Louvre Pyramid entrance designed by I.M. Pei in the 1980s.
