The Lourve, one of the most famous museums in the world, was robbed on Oct. 19. The theft occurred shortly after the museum opened its doors for the day, with thieves smashing two display cases and taking the items in broad daylight. Eight objects were taken: Empress Eugénie’s diadem and large corsage-bow brooch, a matching set of emerald earrings and necklace associated with Empress Marie-Louise, and a sapphire necklace, diadem, and single earring linked to the queens Marie-Amélie and Hortense.
Once the display cases were broken, alarms notified security, who promptly arrived on the scene. Though the alarm forced the thieves to run, the theft was still successful.
