Louvre museum closed as staff discuss strike after jewel heist and June shutdown
The Paris Louvre museum did not open at 8am on Monday as usual as staff was meeting to discuss a strike over pay and working conditions, potentially disrupting access for thousands of visitors to the world's most-visited museum. The vote comes as the museum struggles with the fallout of a jewel heist and its staff complain of security failures, overcrowding and poor working conditions.
