“Not all areas are accessible, but the museum is opening and the first visitors are entering,” the management told Agence France-Presse.

Earlier, around 300 employees, who are striking over issues of understaffing and the deterioration of the museum building, had voted for a second day of strike today, following Monday’s strike.

According to a statement by the CFDT and CGT unions, Louvre employees, who are calling for better working conditions and improved facilities for visitors, voted “unanimously” to continue their strike for a second day today.

“The proposals of the Ministry of Culture were deemed insufficient and unacceptable by the staff,” the CGT said in a post on its Instagram account.

“The opening of the museum is delayed,” and the institution will inform the public “as soon as possible about how it will reopen,” according to a notice for visitors who found the doors closed.
