- shawabawa3 8y agoThe Louvre pyramid is hated? Every Parisian I know loves it
- Insanity 8y agoFirst time I hear that it is hated as well!
- moochamerth 8y agoWhen the project was presented in 1984 it was universally hated by the French press. All lot of commentators said it would ruin and deface a national pride. People have learned to love it - I personally think it's a fantastic addition to a unique site.

- davidivadavid 8y agoNot everyone loves it, but it's certainly more liked than the Centre Pompidou. I personally don't mind either, they're both very interesting proposals, and they have a lot competition.
