PARIS (Reuters) - The Musee d'Orsay in Paris, home of the French Impressionists, reopened to the public on Tuesday, three months after being forced to shut by the COVID-19 pandemic, and its head called for state help to recover from the financial costs of the lockdown.
The museum can usually attract up to 15,000 visitors a day during the summer months, but with France's borders still closed to many foreign tourists and with social distancing in place, its daily capacity has now been cut to 5,000.
