Why This Unit Matters: On October 19, 2025, thieves stole eight priceless pieces from the Louvre’s Galerie d’Apollon (plus one crown that was recovered damaged). This wasn’t just a theft—it was an attack on French cultural heritage. Students explore why these jewels matter beyond their €88 million value, examining themes of:
- National identity and patrimonies
Material culture and power Art theft and cultural heritage protectionHistorical continuity through objects
Museum ethics and security
