Louvre director Laurence des Cars acknowledged on Wednesday, October 22, that the museum’s exterior walls lacked sufficient security camera coverage, just days after a daring daytime theft shocked Paris. During a Senate hearing, she faced questions over how thieves stole about €88 million in jewels in only seven minutes. Des Cars noted that a damaged diamond- and emerald-studded crown dropped during the heist can be restored. The incident has reignited concerns over security at French museums. Yinka Oyetade reports.
