Tourists were left in shock and fear after a robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris forced its closure. The incident occurred this morning as the museum opened its doors to visitors. French authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported during the dramatic event, and a police investigation is currently underway. The Louvre, renowned as the most visited museum globally, announced it would remain closed for the entire day due to "exceptional reasons." French Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati, provided updates on the situation, stating, "A robbery took place this morning at the opening of the Louvre Museum. No injuries to report. I am on site alongside the museum staff and the police. Observations are underway." According to sources close to the investigation, two men allegedly stole nine pieces from the jewel collection of Napoleon and the Empress. This collection reportedly included a tiara, brooch, and necklace, among other valuable items. The suspects, described as hooded men, are believed to have gained access to the museum through ongoing construction work. They reportedly used a freight lift to reach a room in the Apollo Gallery directly. Witnesses indicated that the men smashed windows to enter the building, with two entering to commit the theft while one remained outside to keep watch. The incident has raised concerns about security at one of the world's most famous cultural landmarks, prompting a thorough investigation by the police. The Louvre's closure has left many tourists disappointed and has drawn significant media attention to the robbery.
