After the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum also announces - "exceptionally" - an early closure at 4 PM, compared to the usual 6 PM, starting tomorrow and until next Saturday, as France grapples with deadly heatwaves. The "historic building" is "delicate" and "not sufficiently adapted to climate change," reads the website, which specifies that its "73,000 square meters" are "not uniformly exposed to the sun," resulting in "temperature increases in some areas that no longer guarantee the comfort of visitors and staff." And "heat accumulation intensifies at the end of the day."
