Summary:

This article is about the American fast food-McDonald’s come to the Louvre with French culture. It is not everyone happy about this thing. But French is the biggest market except the United States, and Louvre is the museum which has the most visitors. It is the best way to advertising. They put ancient art and chips together. Many French are angry with that. McDonald’s says there is no plan which date the shop will be set up.

Reaction:

According to this article, the Louvre corporate with McDonald’s to develop economic. It is the final goal. It is really a good idea to make advertisement for McDonald’s, and I believe it will work well. But, for art it is a bad thing. The Louvre is a museum with a long history. It is a symbol of French. The art should be pure. This financial active is damage the art of royalty. Consequently, in 21 century, it is really hard to keep art pure. People always think this after own money. It is difficult to say the activity like this is right or wrong. People should think about this seriously. Most people still believe keep art purity is necessary.
