A forthcoming parliamentary report on the Louvre has found that security concerns were repeatedly deprioritized in favour of prestige projects and rising visitor targets, according to French lawmakers.
The investigation, to be presented Thursday, calls for sweeping reforms to address the systemic issue. The findings suggest institutional decisions favoured revenue growth and cultural prestige over visitor and staff safety protocols.
The report represents a significant critique of management priorities at one of Europe's most visited museums and may trigger policy changes regarding security standards at major cultural institutions.
