louvre launches design contest for 400 million expansion including a new room for mona lisa

The Louvre Museum in Paris has announced an architectural competition for a €400 million ($417 million) expansion, which includes a dedicated underground gallery for Leonardo da Vinci's *Mona Lisa* and a new entrance on the eastern facade near the Seine River. The project, dubbed a "New Renaissance" for the Louvre, follows a staff strike over overcrowding and an internal memo from director Laurence des Cars citing crumbling infrastructure. A 21-person international jury will select the winning design in October, with the aim of easing congestion at I.M. Pei's iconic glass pyramid entrance and providing a separate timed-entry space for the *Mona Lisa*.
