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.

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

The Mona Lisa will get its own dedicated gallery inside the Louvre Museum which is due to undergo major renovations and expansion.

French President Emmanuel Macron compared the facelift to the rebuilding of the Notre Dame cathedral, which is still ongoing six years later.
