Laurence de Cars At Hearing After Robbery at the Louvre Museum - Paris AJ

President of the Louvre Museum Laurence des Cars (L) looks on prior to the start of a hearing before the Senate's culture committee chaired by French Senator Laurent Lafon (R) at the French Senate in Paris on October 22, 2025. Laurence des Cars has not made any public statement since the theft on October 19, 2025. Des Cars, who became the first woman to run the Louvre in 2021, is expected to be questioned about security at the Apollo Gallery, which houses the royal collection of gems. The museum on October 21, 2025 hit back at criticism that the display cases protecting the stolen jewellery were fragile, saying they were installed in 2019 and "represented a considerable improvement in terms of security".
