The Louvre Museum in Paris has been closed following a robbery, France’s culture minister says. <\/p>\n
Rachida Dati wrote on X that the robbery happened on Sunday morning as the museum was opening. She said she was at the site, where police are investigating<\/p>\n
The museum confirmed it was closing for the day “for exceptional reasons,” without providing further details. <\/p>\n
French media reports say jewellery has been stolen, after three masked men reportedly used a freight lift under renovation to access the Apollo Gallery, where what remains of France’s crown jewels are kept. The gallery is on the side of the River Seine.<\/p>\n
The thieves are said to have broken windows to gain entry before escaping on motor scooters. They also had chainsaws. The value of the stolen items is not yet known.<\/p>\n
