According to information from sources, among the artifacts that were relocated are royal regalia and other valuables from the museum's permanent exhibition.
It should be noted that the transfer of items for storage at the Bank of France is an extremely rare occurrence. The bank's main vault, located 26 meters deep, securely protects about 90% of the country's gold reserves and is considered a safe place for unique exhibits. Previously, notebooks belonging to Leonardo da Vinci, valued at over 600 million euros, were stored there.
Recall that the Louvre robbery occurred early in the morning on October 19. The criminals have not yet been found.
As a result of the incident, nine pieces of 19th-century jewelry were stolen, one of which—the crown of Empress Eugenie—was dropped and damaged during the escape (the crown was later found). The published list of stolen items includes a necklace of emeralds and diamonds, gifted by Napoleon to Empress Marie-Louise, as well as a diadem belonging to Empress Eugenie, adorned with nearly 2000 diamonds, and a necklace once worn by Maria Amalia, the last queen of France, featuring eight sapphires and 631 diamonds.
