The renovation is budgeted at 262 million euros per TFA.
The museum originally cost 993 million francs (1977). Adjusted for inflation that would be about 4.3 billion francs today. Converting that to euros gives about 655 million.
Inflation calculators and currency converters are easily found online if you want to double check my approximate figures.

- CaptainZapp 3y agoIt was after that renovation (after which it also started to charge an entrance fee. Before that it was free to visit) when I realized what a fantastic and innovative building it actually is. Alas, a lot of commenters seem to strongly disagree. It seems very much: Love it or hate it. But there's not much middle ground.
