The Louvre has proven that art doesn’t stop for anyone as it opened its doors to art lovers on July 6. There are disinfecting hand gel dispensers everywhere, a booking system that allocates time slots to visitors, a one-way system, as well as signs reminding visitors to keep one metre (yard) apart and wear masks.
According to Reuters, the museum’s director Jean-Luc Martinez said its sheer size - 45,000 square metres of galleries containing 30,000 works - means it will not be hard to respect physical distancing.
