Under broad daylight, Paris's Louvre Museum was robbed, with 8 precious artifacts stolen. The National Palace Museum in Taipei stated it will conduct intrusion scenario drills based on this case and has already initiated the highest level of security review and strengthening operations.
On the morning of the 19th local time, a major theft occurred at the Louvre, with 9 'priceless' artifacts stolen. Among them, a crown inlaid with thousands of diamonds and jewels has been recovered but was found damaged.
The National Palace Museum in Taipei is taking this very seriously and will heighten its vigilance. The southern branch stated that it has immediately launched the highest level of security review and strengthening operations.
The National Palace Museum in Taipei said that, on top of current measures, it will further strengthen its security levels. In addition to increasing patrol frequency and nighttime inspection density, it will also reassess display cases housing high-value artifacts, updating and upgrading explosion-proof glass, locks, and alarm detection systems as necessary and without delay.
In addition, the Palace Museum will use the Louvre case to conduct intrusion scenario drills—testing the protective effectiveness of hoisting equipment, construction passages, and exterior walls as atypical intrusion routes—to ensure all departments can respond and report quickly in case of emergencies.
