Louvre to install 100 new security cameras

The Louvre Museum is set to enhance its security with the installation of 100 new surveillance cameras and anti-intrusion systems following a crown jewels heist last month. Louvre director Laurence des Cars announced that these measures are part of over 20 emergency actions, including a new security coordinator position. The heist, executed in under eight minutes, revealed vulnerabilities in the museum’s previous security measures. Des Cars emphasized the urgency of these improvements within the broader “Louvre New Renaissance” plan aimed at modernizing the museum and managing increasing visitor numbers.
