Paris’s Louvre museum said on Thursday, November 27, it would raise ticket prices for most non-EU visitors, meaning US, British and Chinese tourists among others will have to pay $37 to get in.
The museum told Agence France-Presse (AFP) the 45% price hike aims to boost annual revenues by up to $23 million to fund structural improvements at the world’s most-visited art museum, which is reeling from the daylight theft of priceless treasures last month.
From 2026, visitors from outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway will have to pay €32 – an extra €10 – from January 14, the museum and staff unions said after the measure was approved at a museum board meeting.
American is not a race.
The people complaining are not mad about Americans but mad about up charging say egytptians to view their artifacts looted by napoleon and that’s just one example why attack a position nobody is taking.
A race … to the bottom.
Ba dum tssss!
There’s an entire planet of races you forgot about. Besides, I saw the crown jewels a week before they were nicked so I don’t need to go back anytime soon.
I believe the correct term is ‘scoping the joint’ 🕵️♂️
