See the apparent moment suspected thieves escaped the Louvre after stealing jewels worth more than $100 million.

Seven minutes is all it took for thieves to rob the world’s most famous museum Sunday. Here's a minute-by-minute breakdown of how it went down.

Paris: The world-famous museum in Paris will remain closed on Monday, following a dramatic jewels heist. Museum management confirmed the closure, explaining that visitors with tickets for Monday will be reimbursed because of “exceptional circumstances.” “The museum is closed for the whole day,” one member of staff told visitors.

No security cameras were monitoring the second-floor balcony where thieves gained access to the Louvre to steal historic jewels worth over $100 million, the museum’s director told a French Senate committee hearing.

The Louvre museum was hit by a brazen daytime jewel heist, forcing the Paris institution to close its doors for a second day in a row.

The burglars escaped with eight historic objects, including a sapphire diadem, a single earring and necklace linked to 19th-century French royalty

One expert said it's likely the jewels have crossed borders and the thieves have buyers.
