Paris' Louvre Museum reopened its Apollo Gallery to the public on Wednesday, marking the first time visitors were allowed in since Ocotber 2025, when robbers stole €88 million ($102 million) worth of crown jewels in a dramatic daytime heist.
The Louvre is world's most visited museum, with guest numbers of up to 9 million a year.
It was originally a royal palace, which was opened to the public during the French Revolution. The museum houses the Mona Lisa, one of the world's most famous pieces of art.
The October 2025 heist shocked the world as the thieves used a crane mounted on a truck to enter the museum through a window at 9:30 a.m., when the museum was still opening.
The group broke in through the window, equipped with power tools like a disc cutter, and stole French crown jewels.
