French President Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday a new restoration and expansion project for the Louvre Museum.

Macron visited the museum days after Le Parisien newspapers reported on a confidential memo that the Louvre's director, Laurence des Cars, sent to Culture Minister Rachida Dati. According to the newspaper, the director warned of “a proliferation of damage to the museum’s spaces, some of which are in a very poor condition.”

President Emmanuel Macron of France unveiled plans to vastly renovate the world’s biggest museum, which has endured significant wear and tear over the years.
