A tourist’s 2024 close-up video has gone viral after capturing the now-stolen Louvre Museum jewels hours before the audacious heist! 🚨 The footage shows Empress Eugénie’s Imperial Crown and other treasures glittering under glass – blissfully unaware they’d soon vanish in a real-life Ocean’s Eleven moment.

Empress Eugénie’s diamond tiara 💍
A sapphire crown worn by Queen Marie-Amélie 👑
