While the daring Sunday robbery at the Louvre Museum in Paris continues to capture worldwide attention, it’s not the first time priceless artifacts have been stolen from the museum’s collection \u2014 and it’s almost certainly put other museums on high alert about safeguarding their own treasures.<\/p>\n

Thieves looted France\u2019s most famous crown jewels<\/a>, including an emerald necklace and earrings from the matching set of Empress Marie-Louise, as Fox News Digital previously reported about the Louvre heist.\u00a0<\/p>\n

RARE 10-CARAT BLUE DIAMOND AMONG $100M WORTH OF GEMS GOING UP FOR AUCTION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Prosecutors revealed Monday that a vest, bottle of liquid and equipment left behind at the scene are now being examined.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The brazen Sunday theft \u2014 which has prompted a security review at the Louvre, Reuters reported, as well as reviews at other cultural sites \u2014 brings to mind another robbery that occurred over a century ago in the same location. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

In August 1911, “panic broke out at the Louvre” when Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s “Mona Lisa”<\/a> was found to have disappeared.<\/p>\n

A thief had swiped the painting from its frame \u2014 and escaped with it by hiding the work of art under his coat.<\/p>\n

“The news [of the theft] spread like wildfire and generous rewards were promised for her return,” the Louvre recounts on its website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two years later, Vincenzo Peruggia \u2014 a glazier who had worked at the Louvre<\/a> \u2014 tried to sell the da Vinci masterpiece that he’d stolen to an Italian art dealer.<\/p>\n

The dealer alerted authorities \u2014 and the world\u2019s most famous painting was ultimately returned to the Louvre. Peruggia was arrested and served only a short prison term for the theft, according to History.com<\/a> and other sources.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another heist, far more recent, took place at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.<\/a> It remains unsolved to this day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Two men disguised as local police officers entered the museum in the early hours of March 18, 1990, saying they were responding to a call of a disturbance, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The men overtook two security guards and tied them up with duct tape.<\/p>\n

The thieves were able to steal 13 pieces of art, including works by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Degas and Manet, in the approximately 81 minutes they spent there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The masterpieces, including Rembrandt\u2019s “Storm on the Sea of Galilee,” were estimated to be worth as much as half a billion dollars at the time of the heist.<\/p>\n

The empty frames left by the thieves still hang in the museum to this day. “It’s an intentional choice designed to send a message to the public \u2014 a reminder of what was lost and hope that what was once there will someday return,” according to the FBI’s website<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

In September 2025, just a month before the most recent Louvre heist, thieves broke into Paris’ Natural History Museum. They stole gold samples worth about $700,000, according to Agence France-Presse and the museum itself.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The intruders were said to have used an angle grinder and a blow torch to force their way into the complex, as Artnet.com<\/a> and others reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It prompted a museum spokesperson to declare that this is a “critical time for cultural institutions” in France, the same source noted.<\/p>\n

A number of prominent museums around the world house highly valuable collections.<\/p>\n

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History contains a collection known as “one of the world\u2019s largest of its kind” for gem and mineral<\/a> specimens, according to\u00a0the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).<\/p>\n

The museum\u2019s national gem and mineral collection comprises some 350,000 mineral specimens and 10,000 gems.<\/p>\n

The star of the show is the Hope Diamond, with a weight of 44 carats to 45.5 carats, according to the Smithsonian.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The large stone is\u00a0described as a “fancy dark grayish-blue” color; it first belonged to King Louis XIV.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Faberg\u00e9\u202fMuseum in Saint Petersburg, Russia,<\/a> has the largest collection of decorative art and jewelry by Carl\u202fFaberg\u00e9.<\/p>\n

Some of the most notable items include the Hen Easter Egg, gifted by Emperor Alexander III to his wife, Empress Maria Feodorovna, for Easter in 1885.<\/p>\n

The Coronation Easter Egg, gifted by Emperor Nicholas II to his wife Empress Alexandra Feodorovna for Easter in 1897, is also on display.<\/p>\n
