The Louvre sets attendance mark
From the Associated Press
The Louvre Museum had a record number of visitors in 2006, thanks to dynamic Friday-night programming, successful temporary exhibits and a lecture series by Nobel Prize-winner Toni Morrison, the Paris museum said.
About 8.3 million people visited the museum in 2006, compared with 7.5 million the previous year, the museum said in a statement. Attendance has increased steadily over the last few years.
