Louvre Museum Closes Gallery for Structural Safety Checks

The Louvre Museum in Paris has temporarily closed one of its galleries. The decision is a precaution after an audit found weaknesses in some of the building's structural beams. The affected area is the Campana Gallery. It contains nine rooms of ancient Greek ceramics. The museum will conduct investigations into the beams on the floor directly above the gallery. A museum statement confirmed the closure. It emphasized that this safety measure is unrelated to a recent robbery at the Louvre.
