The Louvre museum has been closed since this morning.

APA reports that this was reported on the official "Twitter" page of the museum.

It was noted that the museum employees started a strike with the demand to cancel the decision of the French President Emmanuel Macron on the implementation of the pension reform in the country.

It should be recalled that last week, people flocked to the streets after the French government applied to adopt a bill to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 without a vote in the parliament.

French police detained hundreds of people while breaking up protests in the capital and other cities.
