Thieves broke into the Louvre museum in Paris and stole priceless jewelry before escaping on motorbikes, French officials said Sunday.
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez called the heist a "major robbery" that "lasted seven minutes." Speaking to France Inter, he said the thieves "entered from the outside using a basket lift" and "a disc cutter" to slice through glass panes containing precious jewels.
"The investigation has begun, and a detailed list of the stolen items is being compiled," the ministry said in a statement. "Beyond their market value, these items have inestimable heritage and historical value."
The museum posted on X it would remain closed for the day for "exceptional reasons," though it did not immediately provide details. No injuries were reported.
According to French daily Le Parisien, the thieves entered through a section of the museum under construction along the Seine River.
The crew reportedly used a freight elevator to access a room in the Apollo Gallery, which houses part of the French Crown Jewels.
The crew stole "nine pieces from the jewelry collection of Napoleon and the Empress," including a crown believed to have belonged to Empress Eugénie, the newspaper reported. The crown was later found broken outside the museum, the report said.

This is definitely going to wind up being a movie..
Must have a foreign buyer lined up.
Well known pieces are easy to trace,
Apollo Gallery is a favorite room, spent hours there. Beautiful jewelry.
Arsène Lupin , gentleman thief and master of disguise.
Netflix cast a negro in their series, of course.
Image searches bring up a million boring pics of the negro Lupin. A pox on the aholes at Netflix.
Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance,[4][5] it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, [and] the most parodied work of art in the world."
How the F does that happen????
Lets see them cast a white man as Uncle Tom and see what happens?
A print of the Louvre Mona Lisa would be perfect for sets of venetian blinds, y’know, because of the louvers.
“”This is definitely going to wind up being a movie””
It would have competition with this movie - “The Score”...with Robert De Niro and Edward Norton - Norton is super in it....

Mona Lisa, smiling at the hoopla over the robbery, had no comment

Broad daylight? Video? Any description of the thieves? Seven minutes? (!!!)
The rest of the Louvre keyword, sorted:
Was it Muzzies, or was it Muzzies?
Guessing the Macrons don’t have any crown jewels that are worth anything.
One would think they’d have sensors on the windows and glass cases.
