The Cour des comptes has carried out an inspection of the Public Establishment of the Louvre Museum (EPML) and the Endowment Fund of the Louvre Museum (FDML). These unprecedented reports provide a comprehensive overview of the museum's strategy, as well as an analysis of the financial flows between the partner institutions. Their publication comes in a particular context: the burglary committed in the Apollo Gallery on 19 October, where the Crown Jewels were on display, caused a stir in France and internationally, highlighting the importance of long-term investment in the modernisation of the museum's infrastructure and the restoration of the palace. These two reports convey a demanding and constructive message: clarify priorities and secure resources to enable the Louvre to continue to embody, in France and around the world, a universal museum, accessible to all and worthy of its exceptional heritage.
