The Louvre museum in Paris is working to reopen on July 6, according to a statement released Friday on museum's website.

The museum's statement said it's implementing a new system that will allow people to visit with "optimum security conditions." The museum said it will follow all health rules, and visitors will have to book a slot to enter.

"Even if we were able to showcase the Louvres treasures virtually during confinement, nothing can replace the emotion of a real encounter with a piece of art, which is the raison dtre of museums," president of the Louvre, Jean-Luc Martinez, said.

On Thursday, French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced that museums and monuments across France would be allowed to reopen from June 2 as France eases some coronavirus lockdown measures.
