The iconic Louvre was forced to temporarily shut down one of its beloved galleries due to safety concerns, just weeks after the museum made international news due to a robbery.
The Campana Gallery -- a nine-room gallery which is home to ancient Greek ceramics -- was closed after "certain beams supporting the floors of the second floor" above it were determined to have structural issues.
"During these investigations, the Campana Gallery… will be closed to the public as a precautionary measure," the museum announced on Monday, according to BBC.
While the closure has no connection to the recent debacle, the news comes just one month after a gang of four masked individuals pulled off a jewelry heist valued at $102 million. The masked individuals spent just seven minutes -- in broad daylight -- to plunder the Paris museum.
The entire museum was shut down for three days amid the investigation.
Days later, the French National Police arrested two men in connection with the heist, according to ABC News. One of the suspects was taken into custody at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, attempting to flee to Algeria. His counterpart was reportedly en route to Mali.
