Paris, France: The Louvre closed its doors to thousands of disappointed visitors on Monday as staff launched a rolling strike to protest working conditions at the Paris landmark, two months after a shocking robbery.

Staff assembled outside the museum's world-famous glass pyramid, blocking the main entrance and holding signs, as security agents turned tourists away.

"The Louvre on strike," said a banner.

"All together all together," striking staff shouted. "Who does the Louvre belong to? To us!"

Workers are demanding extra staff and measures to tackle overcrowding, adding to the woes of the world's most visited museum just as France gears up for the Christmas holidays.
