Under the new structure, visitors who are neither citizens nor residents of the EU will pay the higher rate, the Louvre said.
Workers at the Louvre Museum voted Monday for strikes to protest their work conditions, a ticket-price hike for non-European visitors and security weaknesses that a brazen daylight theft of France's Crown Jewels highlighted in October.
The Paris prosecutor is reporting four more arrests in connection with the jewel heist at the Louvre Museum in October.
The head of the Louvre Museum said Wednesday that new surveillance cameras and anti-intrusion systems will soon be installed at the Paris landmark after last month's stunning crown jewels heist.
According to an employee with knowledge of the system, the password to the Louvre's video surveillance system was simply "Louvre" at the time of the robbery last month.
