00:08The Apollo Gallery at the Lure Museum has reopened to the public,
00:11returning to its original function as a 17th century ceremonial gallery
00:15without display cases or jewels.
00:19The jewels that were not stolen during the heist will soon be displayed
00:23in another room designed as a windowless vault,
00:26said museum director Christophe Leribold.
00:30In October 2025, a four-man gang broke into the Apollo Gallery
00:35using a cherry picker and stole eight jewels from the French crown in broad daylight.
00:41The heist exposed serious security flaws at the world's most visited museum,
00:45leading to the resignation of the then-president, Laurence Descartes.
00:51The loot from the heist, estimated at 88 million euros, remains untraceable to this day.
