卢浮宫馆长克里斯托夫·莱里博（Christophe Leribault）周五在接受法国国际广播电台（France Inter）采访时表示，门票销售收入将用于支付卢浮宫10亿欧元（11.6亿美元）翻新计划的75%。
Ticket sales will finance 75% of the Louvre’s €1 billion ($1.16 billion) renovation plan, the museum’s president and director, Christophe Leribault, told broadcaster France Inter on Friday.
莱里博称，这个名为‘卢浮宫新文艺复兴’（Louvre Nouvelle Renaissance）的项目还将获得阿拉伯联合酋长国提供的3亿欧元（3.48亿美元）资金。他还表示，卢浮宫还需要从私人捐助者那里筹集3.6亿欧元。
Leribault said the project, known as “Louvre Nouvelle Renaissance,” would also receive €300 million ($348 million) in funding from the United Arab Emirates. The museum will also need to raise €360 million from private donors, he said.
莱里博说：‘这个项目规模非常庞大，在法国，我们从未面临过如此巨大的挑战。’
“It is enormous. In France, we have never faced a challenge of this scale,” Leribault said.
他补充道：‘如果我们希望卢浮宫继续保持世界上最美丽、最大的博物馆地位，这些改造工作是必要的。’
“These are necessary works if we want the Louvre to remain the most beautiful and largest museum in the world,” he added.
