Leaking water damages 400 Egyptian books and scientific works at Louvre Museum

A water leak in late November damaged several hundred works in the Egyptian department of the Louvre, the Paris museum announced on Sunday, weeks after a jewelry theft that raised concerns about the Louvre's infrastructure and security.

The museum's deputy administrator, Francis Steinbock, said the leak was discovered on November 26 and damaged up to 400 works. Among them were Egyptological journals and scientific documentation that were used by researchers.

“Between 300 and 400 books” were affected by the leak, explained Francis Steinbock, the museum’s deputy director general, adding that they were “Egyptological journals” and “scientific documentation” used by scholars. The bound books date from the late 19th to early 20th centuries.

“No books of cultural value were touched,” he stressed, explaining that “so far we have no irreparable and final losses in these collections.” These are “extremely useful and very frequently read documents.” “They will be dried, sent to a bookbinder for repair and then returned to the shelves,” Francis Steinbock added.

The incident follows a robbery in October in which a gang of four men raided the world's most visited art museum in broad daylight, stealing an estimated $102 million worth of jewelry in just seven minutes before fleeing. It led to a debate over the museum's aging infrastructure.
