PARIS, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) — Louvre Museum Director Laurence des Cars on Wednesday admitted failures in the museum’s external surveillance system and announced a series of new security measures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Appearing before the French Senate, des Cars said the museum’s external CCTV coverage was insufficient and that Sunday’s jewelry theft had exposed several “weak points.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We are facing a terrible failure at the Louvre, for which I take my share of responsibility,” she said, adding that she had offered her resignation, but the culture minister declined the offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Des Cars outlined several measures to enhance security, including reinforcing perimeter protection with anti-vehicle barriers, expanding and upgrading surveillance systems across the museum complex, and requesting the Interior Ministry to set up a police station inside the museum.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, she defended the museum’s existing 80-million-euro (92.89 million U.S. dollars) security plan, rejecting a recent report that cited “persistent delays” in the implementation of the plan.<\/span><\/p>\n
