Louvre director acknowledges failures in museum's surveillance system
Speaking before the French Senate, des Cars stated, “We are facing a terrible failure at the Louvre, for which I take my share of responsibility.” She added that she had offered her resignation, which was declined by the culture minister.
To strengthen security, des Cars proposed a series of measures, including reinforcing the perimeter with anti-vehicle barriers, expanding and upgrading CCTV coverage across the museum, and requesting that the Interior Ministry establish a police station on site.
While defending the Louvre’s current €80 million ($92.89 million) security plan, she rejected claims from a recent report suggesting “persistent delays” in its implementation. French President Emmanuel Macron reportedly called for a faster rollout of the museum’s security upgrades during Wednesday’s cabinet meeting.
