There was a hot debate about the Louvre pyramid back when it was built. Many people opposed it on political grounds (it was a vanity project of the then president, the Socialist Mitterand), some on the grounds that is was utterly expensive, others because they though it would disfigure the site of the Louvre palace. Probably nowadays there would be an outcry if another president planned to remove it.
