The Louvre's Apollo gallery has reopened to the public for the first time since the brazen heist of the French crown jewels in October.
The gallery will now return to its 17th-century ceremonial purpose, with the collections and precious jewels that it once displayed having been removed.
During the October heist, thieves allegedly stole crown jewels valued at 88 million euros in less than eight minutes, highlighting significant security vulnerabilities.
Security at the Paris museum has been significantly boosted with new surveillance cameras and anti-intrusion systems, and four suspects have been charged and placed in custody.
The re-opening aligns with the decade-long 'Louvre New Renaissance' plan, an 800 million euro project to modernise the museum, and the appointment of Christophe Leribault as the new director, who will prioritise security.
