While awaiting his renewal at the head of the museum, Jean-Luc Martinez has only managed it on an interim basis since Wednesday. Two cases put back in the spotlight darken its balance sheet.


For several weeks, the debate around the succession of Jean-Luc Martinez, president and director of the Louvre, has been raging.

While the latter campaigned vigorously to be renamed for a period of three years, another pitched battle, although less open, was organized with those who would like to take his place.

"ad interim"

for an indefinite period.

This legal possibility, which aims to keep someone in office until a decision is made on their succession - one way or another - is widely used by this government as well as by those before it.
