Three hooded men broke into the museum early on Sunday morning using a chainsaw, and stole Napoleonic jewelry.
The Louvre Museum in Paris was broken into on Sunday morning at opening time, by a group of hooded intruders who made off with antique jewelry that once belonged to Emperor Napoleon. The world-famous museum, which welcomed 9 million visitors from around the world in 2024, remains closed for the rest of the day.
The Louvre has yet to make an official statement, but Agence France-Press reports in vairous French media titles that the group accessed the museum from the Quais François Mitterand, used an external goods lift and breaking first-floor windows to get to the gallery they were interested in, where they broke open display cases.
