Louvre Closure Leaves Paris Tourists Looking Through the Gates

Tourists who travelled to Paris hoping to see the Mona Lisa were left disappointed by the closure of the Louvre Museum.

Instead of entering the museum to view one of the world’s most famous works of art, visitors had to settle for looking through its iron gates.

For those who had come to the French capital with the painting on their itinerary, the closure left a much-anticipated part of their trip out of reach.

No reason for the closure or details of when the museum would reopen were provided in the available information.
