World's most famous museum slams doors to visitors as employee revolt continues

A crown jewel of Paris, the Louvre Museum, shut its doors to tourists visiting from all over the world on Monday.

The closure came amid a prolonged employee strike that has been going on since last summer, with a major heist in October further exacerbating the situation. 

"Dear visitors, due to a social movement, the Louvre Museum is exceptionally closed today," the museum posted on its site.
