The Renoir Museum in Cagnes-sur-Mer remains closed indefinitely after a break-in that took place during the night of Monday, September 7, into Tuesday, September 8. The city of Cagnes-sur-Mer officially announced the museum's closure on Wednesday, September 16, following a decision by the regional office for cultural affairs (Drac), which has not yet authorized its reopening more than a week after the incident. The damage caused by the break-in remains visible, with the broken window through which the thieves entered still unrepaired. During the break-in, four paintings were stolen from the museum. Two of these were later found abandoned in the museum's gardens, but the other two remain missing. Authorities are still investigating the case and have not identified the suspects. The theft has disrupted the museum’s operations, and it has decided not to participate in the upcoming European Heritage Days, which are scheduled for the weekend of September 19 and 20. The local government expressed regret over the museum's absence from the event, which typically draws visitors from across Europe. In response to the break-in, the city of Cagnes-sur-Mer is exploring options to secure the museum more effectively. These include installing bars or double-glazed windows to replace the broken pane. Additionally, the city has hired private security personnel to provide night surveillance at the museum, though the duration of this measure is not yet determined. These steps aim to prevent future incidents and ensure the safety of the museum’s remaining collection. The closure has left the community and art enthusiasts disappointed, as the Renoir Museum is a significant cultural landmark in the region. While efforts are underway to enhance security, the museum’s future operations remain uncertain. The local authorities are working closely with the Drac to determine when, or if, the museum can reopen to the public.
