A serene Sunday morning at the Louvre turned chaotic in just seven minutes. Four thieves, using construction vests and a mechanized lift, cut through reinforced glass and stole eight priceless pieces of the French Crown Jewels—some linked to Napoleon Bonaparte.

What does this heist reveal about museum security, cultural heritage and the lengths organized criminals will go to target history’s treasures?
