The Louvre art museum in Paris will hike its basic entrance fee next year by 29%, adding to concerns that visitors coming to Paris for next year’s Olympic Games will face spiralling costs.
位于巴黎的罗浮宫将在明年调升基本入馆费29％，增添了游客在明年来巴黎参加奥运会之际花费窜升的担忧。
The Louvre, which houses the Mona Lisa and is the world’s most visited museum, said in a statement on Friday that its entrance fee would go up in January to 22 euros from 17 euros. It is the first price hike since 2017.
