The fact that the price is being dramatically raised to the grand total of $37 says more about how fantastically cheap it is to visit the Louvre currently. They could easily double that and not see any noticeable decrease in ticket sales from tourists.
Depends on your point of comparison - the British Museum is free.

It's impossible to overstate how cheap this is, but I think you have to actually go The Louvre to understand that. It's enormous . (In comparison Versaille is absolute bullshit that everyone should just skip. IMO).
And I didn't really enjoy the Louvre, especially compared to Musée d'Orsay and Centre Pompidou.

I really enjoyed the garden there - we spent hours happily. And we don't have a lot of palaces where I'm from. And I didn't really enjoy the Louvre, especially compared to Musée d'Orsay and Centre Pompidou.
Still well worth a visit definitely.
> ...expected to raise millions of euros annually to fund an overhaul of the famous gallery. Jokes aside (eg, 'guess they have to be able to buy back those stolen jewels somehow!') they have been strongly criticized ('inadequate security systems and ageing infrastructure') and it sounds like an overhaul is well past due. Honestly, $40 to enter the Louvre is not too bad. Expensive, but it is the _Louvre_ and is probab…
I'd expect to see this type of fee for non-citizens a lot more. The US is saying a $100 fee for non-citizens to enter national parks will start next year. For the Louvre, I'd be willing to give benefit of the doubt that it's a budgetary decision. For the US though with the current administration, there's always a bit of question if the budgetary reason isn't just a mask for the true intention
