The Louvre Museum in Paris remains closed after a daring daylight heist in which historic jewels were stolen. Thieves used a basket lift to access the museum, smashed display cases, and fled with priceless Napoleonic jewels. The theft occurred just 250 meters from the Mona Lisa, and French officials acknowledged security failures. Investigators are working on evidence found at the scene, and a security improvement plan is in place to modernize infrastructure and ease crowding at the museum by 2031.
