The Louvre Museum in Paris has been closed following a robbery, France’s culture minister says.
Rachida Dati wrote on X that the robbery happened on Sunday morning as the museum was opening. She said she was at the site, where police are investigating
The museum confirmed it was closing for the day “for exceptional reasons,” without providing further details.
French media reports say jewellery has been stolen, after three masked men reportedly used a freight lift under renovation to access the Apollo Gallery, where what remains of France’s crown jewels are kept. The gallery is on the side of the River Seine.
The thieves are said to have broken windows to gain entry before escaping on motor scooters. They also had chainsaws. The value of the stolen items is not yet known.

Walks in with a hammer. Smash + Grab, drives of on a scooter. Why is the museum director not in jail? Or are we supposed to pretend like world history is supposed to be easier to rob than a F Walmart?

The head of security was hired because she was female, the head of intiquities even admittedlast year that's why she was hired, sexist hiring practices of the far left lead to incompetent people in positions of power, it's literally in their mantra

What goes around comes around most of the stuff in there is stolen one
The theft of French historical artifacts from the world's most famous "Louvre Museum", as well as from other museums around the same time, is significant.
Furthermore, the theft of confidential account information for a well-known Spanish clothing company by a hacker group may be related to the theft of historical artifacts from the Louvre Museum in France.
A French official even stated that the museum theft had international connections. In Spain, another unidentified hacker group disrupted life there by hacking the electricity distribution system for a long time.
The leaders of various hacker groups in Spain have been apprehended. However, the attacks in recent months point to a different perspective.
They revoked the Spanish citizenship of Jews who had no rights within a specific border and halted Spain's arms sales agreement with Israel.
The French official's statement that the Napoleonic-era artifacts may have foreign connections raises the possibility that it is related to the announcements by Spain and France that they will recognize 'The State of Palestine."
Vous avez volé des œuvres d’art de valeur historique à travers le monde, et quand on a demandé leur restitution, vous avez refusé en disant : “Vous ne sauriez pas les gérer.”
Eh bien, vous n’aviez peut-être pas imaginé qu’on puisse vous les voler à votre tour.
C’est le karma.
Netflix next series name Jewellery Heist but this time not in Berlin 🇩🇪 but in Paris 🇫🇷.. 😂🤣 😅
You see 7-minutes and people HAD NO CLUE!! What are wrong with people to not notice??!!
Can’t believe you are still believing this nonsense and you know what they are doing there getting the valuables out and safe and that’s absolutely disgusting to be showing it to the world because we know the real story I think it would b in my opinion that insider once it’s safe definitely local mercenaries would’ve been paid to go in there because the Main Man in Africa at the moment could have the biggest empire behind him once again as I was talking to my Ugandan friend yesterday and France are taking everything and going asap and Pdq But people have been shown the technology of museums in like oceans 11 etc so cumon mission impossible lol there’s a Much more important story going on in the background and know one is really talking about but like I said wot do I know ,,, but I’ll tell you what I’ve Felt and I mean really FUKN Feel in side and was more than aware of these facts at a age of primary school and the teachers would have me off to the head and all I was being is one rude that wasn’t the case and trying to express a feeling of which I didn’t even know the fukn words to describe how I was feeling and then I just lost it 3 primary schools and 3 secondary schools not the best cv but almost a Royal Marine a RECRUITER to the ffl for a period and long enough to make my veteran 29 commando brilliant Father cry for the 1st I ever saw but then ? Tbc if u want,👍

France & Macron – you guys were more interested in taking care of the security of Hamas ad Gaza. 😂😂
Take care of your country first.
The Louvre is closed due to theft. For the same reason, it is more or less open 🤣🤣😂
Obviously amateurs otherwise they would have stolen all the items in the Louvre and escaped with 2 Chinook helicopter s and fifty drones.
Грабители герои Франции им нужно памятники возвести
It’s Lupin
This was inside job

Where is Ladybug and Chat Noir?
Somewhat they made movie robbery unrealistic because of it's impossible like methods.
Don't worry, All stolen articles will come up soon for auction.
I’m impressed. Those people actually sat down and hatched down a plan to steal some jewellery, respect
Inspired the series, “LUPIN” 😅😅😅😅
All of that jewelry stolen belonged to the Rothschild Family.
Every European aristocratic and royal family will be made accountable for this heist,because they own nothing from these jewelries.
The Rothschild Family is going to take every European aristocratic and royal family to the International Court for this heist.
Arabian aristocracy is reported as European.
It's written as the Louvre Museum. It's read as the Looted Goods Exhibition Hall.
Lester planned this
Didn't expect the release of Lupin season 4 this way 😢
