A Louvre attendant recounts the shocking moment a massive noise erupted during a daring heist, describing the panic and confusion that followed inside the world’s most famous museum.

The iconic Louvre Museum in Paris was thrown into chaos as a sudden explosion-like sound echoed through its grand halls during what officials have now confirmed as a planned art heist. According to eyewitnesses, visitors screamed and rushed toward exits while alarms blared across the building.

One attendant, visibly shaken, told reporters, “There was this huge noise, like something collapsing. I yelled for everyone to get out. People were scared and running everywhere.” The incident reportedly took place in one of the museum’s restricted exhibition wings, where a valuable artwork was later found missing.

French authorities have launched a full-scale investigation into the theft, tightening security around all national museums. Initial reports suggest the robbers might have used advanced equipment to bypass security systems before making their escape within minutes.

Museum officials have assured that visitor safety remains a top priority and that the Louvre will reopen once the investigation concludes. Experts describe the heist as one of the most daring attempts in recent years, reigniting debates over the safety of priceless art collections in public institutions.
