A water leak at the Louvre damaged a 19th Century ceiling painting, marking another setback for the famous Paris museum. The problem was found late Thursday night in room 707, known as the "Duchâtel" room, where 15th and 16th Century artworks are displayed. The leak came from a heating pipe and was stopped shortly after midnight. The only painting harmed was Charles Meynier's "The Apotheosis of Poussin, Le Sueur and Le Brun," painted in 1822. A restorer found "two tears in the same area, caused by the water, and the paint layer on the ceiling and its arches has lifted." The Louvre said firefighters arrived quickly and the leak was stopped within 40 minutes. Rooms 706, 707, and 708 were closed on Friday but are expected to reopen soon. Experts checked the ceiling and found no structural damage. Scaffolding is in place to protect the area. This incident adds to the Louvre's recent troubles. One day earlier, nine people including two museum staff were detained for a suspected ticket fraud scheme. In October, thieves stole priceless French crown jewels in a brazen daylight heist worth €88 million. Also, hundreds of books were damaged by a leak in the Egyptian department last December. A recent audit criticized the museum for spending too much on new art while neglecting building maintenance. The Louvre remains the world’s most visited museum but is facing growing challenges with security and upkeep.
