Le Louvre Gets a New Boss: Versailles Guy Steps In After Jewel Heist Debacle
The Louvre's latest leadership change? Versailles' dude now takes over after that whole 'oops, we got robbed' incident.
PARIS – Okay, so apparently Laurence des Cars pulled a French Exit from her gig as head honcho at the Louvre. Why? Well, let's just say that a certain jewel heist, involving some seriously blingy rocks going MIA, might have had something to do with it. You know, that whole 'security' thing museums are supposed to be good at? Yeah, not so much.
Enter Christophe Leribault, fresh off running the Palace of Versailles. Versailles! Where the motto is basically 'let them eat cake… but also guard the freaking silverware!' So, basically, France is hoping this guy can bring some much-needed order to the Louvre’s chaotic gift shop – I mean, art collection.
The Louvre, folks, is basically the OG of museums. It's got more priceless stuff than your average Bond villain's lair. But lately, it’s been looking more like a set piece from a Pink Panther movie. The jewel heist was basically peak clown world. Someone needs to unfugged that situation, ASAP.
So, what's Leribault gonna do? Well, first, he probably needs to fire whoever was in charge of security before, during, and after the aforementioned bling burglary. Then, maybe invest in some actual lasers and motion detectors, instead of relying on Mona Lisa's piercing gaze to deter thieves.
And while he's at it, maybe he can address the woke-ification of the museum. Last thing we need is virtue signaling taking precedence over safeguarding priceless historical artifacts. Keep the gender studies degree-holders away from the precious, precious art.
Look, the Louvre is a symbol of Western Civilization. It's supposed to be awe-inspiring, not another victim of the cultural Marxists. Get the basics right, Leribault. Secure the perimeter, preserve the collection, and don't let any more priceless jewels get yoinked by sophisticated European art thieves who are likely one step ahead of Interpol due to having government connections or something equally French.
We’re talking about history, art, and cultural heritage here. If the Louvre goes down the drain, so does a little piece of all of us. Think about it. The West is crumbling. And all they care about are pronouns and climate change while the actual treasures of our civilization are getting heisted in broad daylight.
So, good luck to Leribault. He's got a tough job ahead of him. But if he can restore order to the Louvre and keep the woke mob at bay, he just might become a national hero. If not, well, there's always the guillotine. Just kidding. (Mostly.)
Either way, this whole situation is basically a giant meme waiting to happen. The French are good at museums and surrendering. Can they get the museum thing right?
