Louvre Museum Shut Down by Staff Strike

The Louvre Museum in Paris is closed today. The sudden shutdown happened because most staff members went on strike. Management announced the closure on the museum's official website. The Louvre is the most visited museum in the world. This is not the first major problem for the famous institution. It has faced ongoing issues with security and maintenance. Staff strikes have also occurred before. These troubles began after a high-profile robbery last October. Thieves stole valuable items from the museum in a brazen daytime raid.
