How many visitors did the Louvre receive in 2023?

The Louvre received 8.9 million visitors in 2023.

The figure refers to attendance at the Louvre Museum during the calendar year 2023. It represented a strong recovery from the pandemic period and was about 14% higher than the museum’s 2022 attendance. The total brought the Louvre close to its pre-pandemic level of visitors.

The museum’s audience was highly international: 68% of visitors were foreign, with visitors from the United States forming the largest national group. About 40% of visitors benefited from free admission, and 43% were under 26 years old. The Louvre also maintained a daily capacity limit of 30,000 tickets.

This number should not be confused with attendance in other years or at Louvre Abu Dhabi. The Paris museum welcomed about 8.7 million visitors in 2024, while the 2023 figure was specifically 8.9 million. Depending on the source, the number may appear as 8.9 million or as a more precise count rounded to one decimal place.
