But no jewels will be on display and it will revert to its 17th century function as a state gallery, an informed source told AFP on July 20.
"The gallery will open on Wednesday," the source said, confirming a report in Le Parisien newspaper and added Culture Minister Catherine Pegard would be present.
In an interview with Le Parisien, the museum’s president Christophe Leribault said the "collections and precious objects" that had been displayed earlier, had been removed.
On Oct 19, 2025, robbers disguised as construction workers entered the gallery using a truck-mounted lift in the morning and stole eight crown jewels, which remain missing.
