World’s largest art museum has survived monarchies, fire and wars, but concerns about the novel coronavirus have shut down the Louvre.
“The Louvre cannot open this Sunday, March 1,” a statement from the Louvre said. “Museum staff met to discuss the health situation and the Covid-19 prevention measures taken by the museum following instructions from the competent authorities.”
It’s not clear when the home of Leonardo DaVinci’s “Mona Lisa” and a half million other pieces of art will reopen.
Museum staff will hold another meeting on Monday with the Exceptional Health, Safety and Working Conditions Committee, the statement read.
