💨 Abstract

On Monday, the Louvre Museum in Paris was paralyzed due to a spontaneous strike by its staff who cited unmanageable crowds, chronic understaffing, and unbearable working conditions. The strike, occurring during a routine internal meeting, led to the closure of the world's most visited museum, which has previously endured wars, terrorism, and a pandemic. Simultaneously, protests against mass tourism erupted across southern Europe, highlighting the strain it places on local communities.
