The Louvre Museum's now-infamous Apollo Gallery reopens nine months after a group of thieve stole France's Crown Jewels from the Paris Museum.

The 17th-century Apollo Gallery reopened to the public without precious jewels or other objects previously on display.

The Louvre's Apollo gallery on Wednesday reopened to the public for the first time since 88 million euros ($102 million) worth of crown jewels were stolen in a dramatic daytime heist.

The public can tour the majestic room and view its gilded ceilings and Greek frescoes en route to the nearby Mona Lisa, but they won't see any crown jewels or empty display cases.

The collections and precious jewels have been removed, as the museum said the gallery is returning to its 17th-century original ceremonial purpose.
