## Louvre Museum Robbery: What We know
## How did the robbery happen?
According to French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin, the gang that broke into the Apolo Gallery on Sunday, November 5, 2023, was clearly professional.
They knew what they wanted, they had evidently studied the terrain beforehand, they had a *way of working* shamelessly simple but effective, and it took them no more than seven minutes to take the loot and escape.
In a truck, they parked on the street, climbed to the second floor and then used a disc cutter to enter through a window.
Inside the richly decorated gallery, they made their way to two display cases containing what remains of the French crown jewels.
Most of France’s royal jewels were lost or sold after the Revolution of 1789, but some objects were saved or reacquired.
Most of what was in the display cases dates back to the 19th century and to the imperial families of Napoleon and his nephew Napoleon III.
## what did they take?
According to authorities, the thieves took six objects – not seven as previously reported – including tiaras, necklaces, and earrings. These items are still missing.
The jewels had belonged to Napoleon’s wife, the Empress Marie Louise; to his sister-in-law, Queen Hortensia of Holland; to Queen María Amelia, wife of the last king of France, Louis Philippe, who reigned between 1830 and 1848; and to Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III, who reigned between 1852 and 1870. Specifically, items stolen included the diamond tiara of Empress Eugenie.
