Louvre reopens Apollo Gallery nine months after the crime of the century

The Galerie d'Apollon at the Louvre Museum has reopened to the public after nearly nine months following a high-profile heist in October 2025. The gallery, which had been closed since the theft of eight Crown jewels valued at 88 million euros, now operates without display cases or stolen items. President Christophe Leribault stated that valuable collections were removed during the closure and that the space will return to its original function as a 'display gallery' from the 17th century. Security measures have been called into question following the incident, which exposed significant vulnerabilities in the world’s most visited museum. The theft led to internal turmoil at the Louvre, resulting in the replacement of its president. A parliamentary committee had previously criticized the lack of security focus within the institution.
