The Louvre in Paris is open to visitors again!

After the high-profile theft of priceless jewels, the Louvre in Paris is once again welcoming tourists. The museum, which was temporarily closed on Sunday after a break-in at one of its most valuable galleries, has officially resumed operations.

Last weekend, there was a break-in at the Galerie d'Apollon, a room known for displaying royal jewelry and symbols of French power. Nine items disappeared from the display cases, eight of which were considered stolen, and one was found damaged. The stolen jewelry was of great historical and artistic value, with a total market value of many millions of euros.

After the theft was discovered, the museum was immediately closed to visitors and the area was placed under strict police surveillance. Investigators are still working to reconstruct the course of events, and the Louvre authorities have introduced additional security measures, including new surveillance systems and access controls in sensitive areas of the building.

After a few days' break, the Louvre has reopened. Visitors can now view the most famous works without hindrance. The museum assures that all other exhibitions are fully accessible and encourages tourists to visit, reminding them that visitor safety and the protection of cultural heritage remain a priority.
