This handout picture released and taken on March 30, 2019 by JR-ART.net shows the huge collage by French artist JR in the courtyard of the Louvre, a project unveiled to mark the 30th birthday of the Louvre's glass pyramid in Paris. Some 400 volunteers working in teams of 50 spent four days pasting strips of printed paper on the cobbles of the courtyard, creating a giant patchwork around the pyramid. Hated by many Parisians when it was unveiled 30 years ago on March 29, Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei's creation has wormed its way into their hearts and is now revered like one of the Louvre's greatest treasures. (Photo by Handout/JR-ART.net/AFP Photo)
