Louvre's Apollo Gallery reopens, 9 months after heist

The Louvre Museum in Paris reopened its Apollo Gallery to the public on Wednesday, nearly nine months after a high-profile heist in October 2025. During the robbery, thieves stole €88 million worth of crown jewels using a crane mounted on a truck, entering through a window at 9:30 a.m. while the museum was still opening. The stolen items included French crown jewels, though some objects remained untouched, including a 170-year-old crown commissioned by Napoleon III, which was left badly deformed but largely intact. The Apollo Gallery, now devoid of its former displays, has returned to its 17th-century ceremonial purpose, allowing visitors to experience its historic architecture and artwork. The incident led to the resignation of the museum’s previous director and prompted significant security upgrades, as part of a broader modernization effort costing up to €800 million.
