Vincent Noce, Louvre to raise ticket prices by 45% for most non-EU visitors, The Art Newspaper, 28 November 2025
The Château de Versailles and the Château de Chambord have also announced new pricing structures
The Louvre will raise ticket prices for non-European Union (EU) visitors by 45% from 14 January 2026, the Paris museum’s board decided yesterday.
The move will increase the cost of tickets for visitors from countries including the UK, US and China from €22 to €32, which the museum hopes will boost its revenue by around €17.5m annually.
Staff unions have denounced the project as an “unprecedented challenge to the universal mission of the museum since its birth in 1793”.
