In a unique melding of art and athletics, the Louvre Museum in Paris will host fitness classes within its iconic galleries as the Olympics approach. The initiative, announced on Tuesday, will feature dance, yoga, and workout sessions led by professional instructors, allowing participants to exercise amidst masterpieces. This effort is part of a broader cultural campaign designed to drum up excitement for the upcoming Games, set to commence on July 26.
Museum director Laurence des Cars highlighted the strategic position of the Louvre, both geographically in the heart of Paris and as a central feature in the Olympic festivities. The initiative includes a new Olympic-themed exhibition and extends to other major museums like the Musee d’Orsay, which will also host sports-related events.
The Paris city administration is also playing its part by enhancing public sports facilities and creating fan zones throughout the city to celebrate the Olympics and Paralympics. This marks the first Olympics in Paris in a century, a historic event that aims to create a truly communal and inclusive Olympic experience.
