Louvre's Apollo Gallery to Reopen Without Jewelry Display

The Apollo Gallery at Paris’s Louvre Museum will reopen to the public on Wednesday, according to an informed source who spoke to AFP. The gallery, which had been closed following the jewelry heist that occurred there in October 2025, will be open for visitors but will not feature any of the stolen pieces.

Security officials said the Louvre has conducted a thorough review of its protective measures and has installed additional safeguards before resuming public access. The gallery’s temporary closure was part of a broader investigation into the theft, which involved the removal of several high‑value jewels from the museum’s collection. No details have been released about the recovery of the stolen items.

The Louvre’s decision to reopen the Apollo Gallery, albeit without the jewelry, signals the museum’s intent to resume normal operations while continuing to address the aftermath of the heist. Visitors can expect to view the gallery’s architecture and exhibitions, but the missing pieces will remain absent until further notice.
