Louvre Museum Closes Due to Overcrowding Protests

The iconic Louvre Museum in Paris has temporarily shut down as staff members protest against the severe overcrowding issues.

Staff Concerns

The museum, home to masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, has become a victim of its own success, struggling to manage the sheer volume of visitors.
