Americans face a price hike for entry to the world's most-visited museum following a recent heist at the Louvre in Paris. The museum is implementing stricter security measures, which come at a cost. Foreigners outside the European Union will pay $12 more for a ticket, increasing the price from $25 to $37. This decision affects approximately 13% of the Louvre's visitors, who are primarily American. The museum's new measures include installing 100 cameras by 2026 and implementing anti-intrusion systems within two weeks. These changes are part of over 20 emergency measures, including the creation of a 'security coordinator' role. Interestingly, the Louvre is not the only institution adjusting its pricing. Many popular landmarks and museums are prioritizing their citizens' access, with the Trump administration's 'America the Beautiful passes' offering annual access for U.S. residents at $80 and non-residents at $250.
