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

French President Emmanuel Macron has announced that the "Mona Lisa" will have its own room inside the Louvre following a major renovation of the museum.

The world's most visited museum is also overcrowded, antiquated and desperate for renovations that will start next year and include separate space and tickets for Mona Lisa.
