The Louvre pyramids, designed by architect I. M. Pei and inaugurated in 1989, are controversial primarily due to their stark modernity contrasting with the historic architecture of the Louvre Museum. Critics argue that the glass and metal structure disrupts the classical aesthetic of the surrounding buildings. Additionally, some view the pyramids as an emblem of commercialization and modernization that detracts from the museum's cultural significance. Despite the controversy, many have come to appreciate the pyramids as a symbol of the museum's blend of old and new.
