Paris museums are moving art in their storerooms to a location outside the city for fear of floods. The massive transport of 100,000 artworks is disrupting museums. “The Musée d’Orsay and the Louvre, are sited right on the banks of the river, which snakes through Paris in a series of grand curves. Many others are also having to evacuate their stores: the Musée des Arts Decoratifs, the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts and the Orangerie. The current urgency is particularly unfortunate given that huge underground galleries and stores were built under the Louvre as recently as the 1980s as part of I.M.Pei’s Grand Louvre project. At the time no one was worried about floods.”
