Amid a surprising incident, this prestigious art institution had to shut its doors following a daring robbery where culprits make off with nine precious artifacts.
While specifics are still emerging, reports indicate 3 hooded men gained entry the institution soon after opening time today.
The suspects are said to have employed an external hoist being used during current restoration activities to access the famous exhibition hall, found on the Seine River side.
The ornate room is home to the remnants of the French monarchical treasures. In order to enter, the thieves broke display cases before making their getaway with the pilfered pieces.
The individuals reportedly made their escape using a two-wheeled vehicle. Law enforcement are now assessing the worth of the loot, as the museum remains shut for tourists until further notice.
The robbery has raised serious questions about security at one of the globe's most popular cultural sites.
