How much did the Louvre in France lose when it reopened during the epidemic?

In the first half of the year, the COVID-19 epidemic raged all over the world, and most countries in the world were affected to varying degrees in economy, education, diplomacy, politics and tourism. All walks of life are depressed, especially tourism. People are hiding at home to prevent the epidemic and are afraid to travel.

Speaking of tourism projects, the most famous museum with the largest number of fans in the world is undoubtedly the Louvre, which is the first of the four historical museums in the world. It used to be the palace of France. During the Renaissance, it was the most famous and important building, and was famous for its precious classical paintings and sculptures. Known as the three treasures of the world, the statue of Venus, the oil painting of Mona Lisa and the stone carving of the goddess of victory are hidden in the Louvre. ?

However, the World Treasure Museum cannot escape the clutches of the epidemic. On March 1 day, 2020, the Louvre was temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 epidemic; On March 4th, the Louvre announced its opening to the public. On March 13, due to the serious epidemic situation, the Louvre had to announce again that it would be completely closed to the outside world from 6 pm that night. On July 6th, the Louvre Museum reopened, but in order to resist COVID-19 virus, a series of preventive measures will be taken, and some buildings, restaurants and cloakrooms will be closed to tourists. In other words, 70% of the public areas of the museum will be open to the public. Then we want to know how much money the Louvre has lost in these months. According to statistics, the loss during the epidemic exceeded 40 million euros, about 353.2 million yuan. It's really a pity. According to experts, the annual operating budget of the Louvre is 250 million euros, of which the support provided by the French government is 654.38+0.2 billion euros, so the rest can only be borne by the Louvre itself. During the closing period, the Louvre did not sit still. They have stepped up their online publicity, and now the number of fans has risen sharply.
