00:00It appears that crises are piling up at the Louvre Museum.

00:05After the theft of valuable historic jewelry and water leaks that cause damage to rare

00:10documents and books, museum employees are now calling this week for a strike that could

00:16lead to a partial or full closure of the world's most famous museum.

00:22The strike comes in protest over staff shortages, deteriorating working conditions, and a plan

00:28to raise ticket prices for visitors from outside the European Union.

00:36Unions warn that these incidents have exposed years of neglect and a lack of investment in

00:41maintenance and security at a museum that welcomes millions of visitors every year.
