Louvre Loot List EXPOSED — Officials have now confirmed the full inventory of treasures taken in the audacious Paris museum heist

Louvre Loot List EXPOSED — Officials have now confirmed the full inventory of treasures taken in the audacious Paris museum heist.

The Louvre’s statement called them “irreplaceable pieces of France’s soul.” Security footage shows the thieves knew exactly where to look — bypassing modern displays and heading straight for the sealed Apollo Gallery vault.

Police sources say the haul could be worth over €120 million, but as one curator put it, “their true value lies in history — not money.”

And yet, one item still hasn’t been publicly listed — a missing velvet case labeled only “A.R.” that curators refuse to discuss.

What Jewelry Was Stolen from the Louvre in Paris? The List Includes Emeralds, Tiaras and More Items Worth Millions

Thieves stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry from the Louvre Museum during a robbery — and a list of the stolen items has now been revealed.

The robbery in Paris occurred on Sunday, Oct. 19, at about 9:30 a.m. local time with several people forcing entry through a window in the Galerie d’Apollon (Apollo Gallery), which had opened its doors to the public, a Louvre spokesperson confirmed in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.

The Ministry of Culture confirmed nine items were stolen, per Reuters.

The items are: a sapphire tiara, a sapphire necklace and a single sapphire earring worn by Queen Marie-Amélie and Queen Hortense; a matching emerald necklace and emerald earrings worn by Marie-Louise (Napoleon Bonaparte’s second wife); a tiara and large brooch that belonged to Empress Eugénie; and a brooch known as the “reliquary brooch.”

The thieves also took a crown made from gold, emeralds and diamonds worn by Empress Eugénie, but they dropped it outside the museum as they were making their escape. It has since been recovered.

The items were worn by historical figures who spanned the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries.

“Beyond their market value, these items have inestimable heritage and historical value. The ministers of culture and the interior are on site with the museum’s management,” the Louvre said in the statement obtained by PEOPLE.

The thieves allegedly entered the building carrying small chainsaws and angle grinders to reach the room they were targeting, France 24 reported. French Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez told the outlet that the robbery lasted around seven minutes.

It is believed that there were four individuals involved in the heist, per the French outlet Le Parisien. Two of them wore yellow vests disguised as workers at the museum, while the other two were on scooters.

France’s Culture Minister Rachida Dati revealed in a statement on X that no injuries among the public, Louvre staff or law enforcement officers were reported following the robbery. She added that an investigation is underway.

The Apollo Gallery is home to the oldest, most treasured jewels in France. The French Crown Jewels are displayed, along with the historical diamonds — the Regent, the Sancy and the Hortensia, per the museum’s website.
