The Louvre Museum in Paris was involved in a high-profile theft on October 19, 2025, when nine French royal jewels were stolen from the Apollo Gallery. The estimated value of the stolen items is reported to be around 88 million euros, and the museum temporarily closed parts of its premises due to extreme heat conditions affecting artwork preservation. Following the incident, the Louvre was placed under heightened security and described as being 'under special supervision'.
