Why French Museums Keep Getting Robbed

The podcast discusses a recent surge in museum heists, particularly in France, with a focus on the reasons behind the trend. It highlights the Louvre robbery and a series of subsequent heists across France, driven by the increased value of gold and the relative ease of targeting museums compared to heavily secured jewelry stores. The podcast explores a pivotal heist in Berlin that inspired copycat crimes, the challenges museums face in upgrading security due to their historical architecture, and the French government's response to protect national treasures amidst financial constraints, also touching on a local museum robbery and its impact on the community.
