Louvre Museum to Restore Priceless Crown Damaged in Heist

The Louvre Museum announced plans to fully restore the crown of Empress Eugénie, which was damaged during a recent heist. The valuable crown, one of nine royal ornaments stolen by burglars, was dropped by the thieves as they fled, leaving it deformed but mostly intact. Despite its crushed appearance, the museum is committed to restoring the historical piece to its former glory and will soon invite restorers to begin the work. The incident has raised concerns about the security of priceless artifacts and the ongoing investigation into the heist.
