Paris Museums and Art Basel Close Ahead of Planned Saturday Protests
Paris's Louvre, Orsay, Picasso museums, and Art Basel Paris fair will close on Saturday due to concerns over potential violence during planned protests. The decision follows violent unrest last weekend involving fires, looting, and clashes with police. Authorities and organizers cited visitor safety, staff protection, and artwork preservation as priorities. While a Thursday protest was peaceful, the upcoming Saturday demonstration is expected to be larger, prompting precautionary closures amid heightened social tensions in the French capital.
