Overview
- The Louvre said on Nov. 17 it closed the Campana Gallery as a precaution during checks prompted by an audit.
- Experts are investigating weakened beams that support part of the second floor in the Sully wing.
- The offices above the gallery have been vacated, with 65 employees temporarily relocated.
- The gallery’s nine rooms of ancient Greek ceramics remain in place while the space stays shut to visitors.
- The museum said the action is unrelated to October’s US$102 million jewellery theft, which heightened scrutiny of its security.
