Louvre Reopens Apollo Gallery Nine Months After Crown Jewels Theft
The Louvre's Apollo Gallery reopened to the public nine months after a daytime heist in which crown jewels worth 88 million euros (USD 102 million) were stolen. The gallery no longer displays the jewels or their cases, as it has been restored to its original 17th-century ceremonial purpose. The stolen jewels remain unrecovered. Christophe Leribault, the new Louvre director, said the former exhibits will be relocated. Security has been enhanced with new cameras and anti-intrusion systems following the theft, which exposed vulnerabilities and led to leadership changes.
