Tourists visiting the Louvre face reduced exhibition value in a major gallery, potentially affecting visitor satisfaction and spending on museum-related activities, though architectural tours may attract heritage-focused visitors.
Likely increased regulatory scrutiny of museum security protocols, potential mandates for enhanced physical security infrastructure, possible insurance requirement changes, and international coordination on art theft prevention and recovery.
