President Emmanuel Macron announced plans to alleviate crowds at the Paris museum and to charge higher fees for visitors from outside the European Union.

The French president announced last week an extensive overhaul of the legendary museum, including a dedicated gallery for Leonardo’s masterpiece and a new entrance and exit that would take advantage of long-underused public spaces.

French President Emmanuel Macron laid out an ambitious plan for a "reimagined, restored and expanded" Louvre. An art critic says Macron is aiming for another success after restoration of Notre Dame.

One of the world's most visited pieces of art is getting a makeover. The exhibit that houses the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in Paris will soon be under construction as museum officials hope to create a space that can accommodate all art lovers.
