Louvre's New Director Faces Challenges Amid Infrastructure and Theft Issues
Christophe Leribault has been appointed as the new director of the Louvre Museum, inheriting significant challenges including a derelict infrastructure and the aftermath of a major theft. The museum's previous director, Laurence des Cars, faced criticism for management failures and prioritizing style over substance, leading to a series of calamities such as floods, structural damage, and ticket fraud. Leribault, known for his expertise in art history and museum management, is tasked with addressing these issues while navigating political expectations from President Emmanuel Macron and appeasing staff and MPs.
