The Louvre said on Monday it would remain closed a day after historic jewels were stolen from the world’s most-visited museum in a daring daylight heist.
The museum’s staff asked dozens of visitors who were queuing in front of the glass pyramid entrance to leave the site.
In a message posted on the social media, the Louvre said visitors who have booked tickets will be refunded. It did not provide additional details.
On Sunday, thieves rode a basket lift up the Louvre’s facade, forced a window, smashed display cases and fled with priceless Napoleonic jewels, officials said.
The theft about 30 minutes after the museum opened, with visitors already inside, was among the highest-profile museum thefts in living memory.
It unfolded just 250 meters from the Mona Lisa, in what Culture Minister Rachida Dati described as a professional, four-minute-long operation.
French Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin acknowledged security failures on Monday.
One can wonder about the fact that, for exam
