The Louvre museum in Paris has announced it is closing one of its galleries because of structural weaknesses.
The Campana Gallery - consisting of nine rooms which host Greek ceramics - will remain shut as engineers investigate certain beams supporting the floors, the Louvre said.
The announcement adds to the museum's unwelcome attention following a high-profile heist last month in which jewels worth €88m (£76m; $102m) were taken.
Criticism has focused on lax security at the world's most-visited museum in the French capital.
Four people have been arrested over the heist, but the jewels have not been recovered.
In a statement on Monday, the Louvre said that structural issues in offices on the second floor - above the Campana Gallery in the Sully wing of the museum - had led to its decision.
During these investigations, the Campana Gallery... will be closed to the public as a precautionary measure, it said.
Three weeks after the jewel theft, a report was released which criticized managers for preferring to invest in new artworks and exhibitions rather than basic upkeep and protection of the museum.
The report, citing findings from 2018-24, showed the museum spent €105.4m (£92.7m) on new artworks, while only €26.7m was spent on maintenance works.
On the day of the heist, suspects used a stolen vehicle-mounted mechanical lift to access the museum, stealing numerous high-value jewels in under five minutes.
Security measures have since been tightened at France's cultural institutions.
