I heard that The Lourve is downsizing. All images will be photocopied and displayed at around 75% of their intended size. The Lourve could give no real reason for this, other than they liked the way the gallery looked better. Anyone who wants to see the pictures as the artists intended have to go though to another room for each picture. In trials, it was found that most visitors didn't have the time for this and just looked at the cut down image.
A spokeman said that he thought the images looked great at the new size.
