The Louvre employs a staff of 2, 000 led by Director Henri Loyrette, who reports to the French Ministry of Culture and Communications.
Under Loyrette, who replaced Pierre Rosenberg in 2001, the Louvre has undergone policy changes that allow it to lend and borrow more works than before.
In 2006, it loaned 1, 300 works, which enabled it to borrow more foreign works.
From 2006 to 2009, the Louvre lent artwork to the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Georgia, and received a $ 6. 9 million payment to be used for renovations.
The € 98. 5m expansion of the Islamic Art galleries in 2012 received state funding of € 31 million, as well as € 17 million from the Alwaleed Bin Talal Foundation founded by the eponymous Saudi prince.
The republic of Azerbaijan, the Emir of Kuwait, the Sultan of Oman and King Mohammed VI of Morocco donated in total € 26 million.
In addition, the opening of the Louvre Abu Dhabi is supposed to provide € 400 million over the course of 30 years for its use of the museum ’ s prestigious brand.
Loyrette has tried to improve weak parts of the collection through income generated from loans of art and by guaranteeing that " 20 % of admissions receipts will be taken annually for acquisitions ".
He has more administrative independence for the museum and achieved 90 percent of galleries to be open daily, as opposed to 80 percent previously.
He oversaw the creation of extended hours and free admission on Friday nights and an increase in the acquisition budget to $ 36 million from $ 4. 5 million.
