The head of France’s Louvre museum has resigned after a months-long string of scandals, including the brazen daylight theft of priceless jewels.
Laurence des Cars submitted her resignation letter to President Emmanuel Macron, after facing months of pressure since the October robbery of US$100 million ($167.5m) of French crown jewels.
UK correspondent Gavin Grey says some believe this resignation was a long time coming, as confidence in the Louvre has plummeted.
