Some 2,000 unique 18th-century coins have disappeared from the Denis Diderot Museum, mere days after a jewelry heist at the Louvre\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another museum in France has suffered a break-in, Franceinfo reported on Wednesday. A day after a high-profile jewelry heist at the Louvre, nearly 2,000 prized coins were reportedly stolen from the Denis Diderot House of Enlightenment in the northeastern town of Langres.<\/p>\n

The case adds to a series of major museum thefts in the country in recent months, prompting an outcry from opposition politicians over the government’s handling of cultural heritage security.<\/p>\n

The gold and silver coins were reported stolen on Monday morning after museum staff discovered a broken front door and a shattered display case. The hoard reportedly included 1,633 silver and 319 gold coins from the 18th and 19th centuries, with an estimated value of around €90,000 ($104,000). The stolen items were part of the museum’s “treasure”<\/em> collection, unearthed by construction workers during building renovations in 2011.<\/p>\n

According to the local mayor’s office, as cited by the news outlet, the break-in appeared premeditated and targeted, with only selected valuables taken while other objects were left untouched. Local authorities have reportedly tasked a private security company with providing overnight surveillance of the site while the security system at the temporarily closed museum is being upgraded.<\/p>\n

The Langres incident follows two other major museum thefts in France this month. On October 16, gold nuggets worth €1.5 million were stolen from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. On October 19, eight pieces of Napoleonic-era jewelry were taken in a daylight break-in at the Louvre.<\/p>\n

The Louvre heist triggered sharp criticism of museum leadership. Director Laurence Des Cars faced accusations of prioritizing diversity over security experience in her staffing decisions.<\/p>\n

Marion Marechal, a European Parliament member and niece of Marine Le Pen, said France had become the “laughingstock of the world”<\/em> following the “ridiculous theft,”<\/em> calling for the immediate resignation of Des Cars and the museum’s security chief Dominique Buffin, whom she claimed had been appointed as part of a feminization policy.<\/p>\n

Jordan Bardella, the president of National Rally, branded the heist at the world’s most visited museum an “intolerable humiliation,”<\/em> calling it reflective of “the decay of the state.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
