$157 million.

That’s the value of the jewellery stolen from the world’s most-visited museum, the Louvre in Paris, last Sunday. 

All up, the heist took less than ten minutes. And it was all done in broad daylight with visitors in the museum. 

In a story that resembles a Hollywood movie, today we’re breaking down what really happened — and how thieves pulled off a heist that’s left authorities stunned and raised serious questions about security at the Louvre.
