Louvre Museum Enhances Security with New Door Locks Following Recent Heist

The Louvre Museum has announced the installation of locks on its doors for the first time, a security upgrade following a dramatic heist. The museum is implementing a “state-of-the-art entry inhibition protocol,” involving locked doors and windows after hours. Previously, it was comically easy for intruders to access the museum’s valuable pieces. Visitors will now undergo checks for bobby pins and paper clips, items considered security threats. The upgrade, expected by 2029, is part of ensuring the protection of French cultural patrimony.
