The Louvre and several other Paris museums will be closed on Saturday due to protests, the French culture ministry announced. The closures include the Louvre, Orsay, Picasso Museum, and the Grand Palais. The ministry urged all institutions under its oversight to take measures to ensure visitor safety, protect staff, and preserve artworks. The decision comes as Paris and other parts of France have been shaken by protests and violent riots. Art Basel, Paris's largest annual art fair, will end its event on Friday instead of Sunday due to potential weekend demonstrations, organizers said.
