SloveniaA brazen theft occurred at a museum in Burgundy, France, where two individuals posing as tourists stole a 2,500-year-old Celtic gold torc believed to have belonged to a princess from the 6th century BCE. The artifact was taken from the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais – Trésor de Vix in Châtillon-sur-Seine. In response to this and previous high-profile thefts, including the famous 2022 robbery at the Louvre, the French government announced a national plan to enhance security across more than 3,000 museums, monuments, and churches. The initiative includes allocating €30 million for upgrading security equipment. The French Minister of Culture, Catherine Pégard, emphasized that replacing original artifacts with replicas would not be a solution, stating that museums exist to share these items with the public and that security must become an integral part of their operations.
