What to know as Louvre tickets are becoming 45% more expensive for many
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Now, the world's most visited museum is putting a higher price on that pilgrimage as it scrambles to fund renovations and security after strikes, overcrowding and October's French Crown Jewels heist. The Louvre was closed yet again Monday because of a staff walkout. On Wednesday, the Paris landmark is introducing a two-tier ticketing system that raises admission for most non-Europeans to 32 euros ($37), up from 22 euros ($26) a 45% hike overnight."
Donations fund reporters on the ground to investigate reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech and to produce documentaries highlighting affected Americans. Investigations include financial scrutiny of political PACs and reporting that aims to separate facts from messaging. Maintaining no paywalls keeps quality journalism available to everyone while relying on contributions to sustain reporting. The Louvre is increasing admission for most non-European visitors from 22 to 32 euros, citing the need for renovations and security after strikes, overcrowding and an October Crown Jewels heist. Labor unions argue the change undermines the museum's universal mission; some visitors remain eligible for free admission.
