Robbery of the Louvre: only 39% of the halls have video surveillance

The report by the National Audit Office indicates that only 39% of the museum's rooms will have video cameras by 2024. The audit also revealed that the museum was not sufficiently prepared for crisis situations, and work to update the security system only began at the end of last year, with completion planned for 2032.

The report also pointed out the inefficiency of spending on acquiring new works of art, and the lack of a clear cost-benefit analysis of projects. However, the director of the Louvre supported most of the auditors' recommendations, stating that the transformation of the museum is crucial for overcoming structural issues.

By the end of the year, additional security measures are planned, such as the installation of intrusion devices and barriers against ram-raids. Marinello from Art Recovery International expressed concern about the high likelihood of dismantling stolen jewels into parts.

According to glavcom.ua: The report from the audit office identified deficiencies in the security system and the effectiveness of spending at the Louvre Museum. The director agreed with most of the recommendations and emphasized the importance of transforming the museum to address the issues. The modernization of the security system and the implementation of new measures are planned by the end of the current year.
