The Louvre Museum was reopened on Wednesday morning for the first time since jewellery was stolen last Sunday. 

The museum doors opened at 9:00, as usual, with hundreds of people queuing up at the entrance.

However, the opening will not be complete. The Louvre has specified that the Apollo gallery where the robbery took place will be closed "for a while." 

The robbery took place at 9.30 a.m. on Sunday. The commando entered the southern flank of the museum, by the Seine, usingtwo motorcycles\u00A0 and a forklift . They broke a window, and two of them entered the Apollo gallery, where they broke the glass containing the jewels of the Second Empire and the diamonds of the collection of the Kings of France.
