Hi, I'm @claireul2025.bsky.social, a Paris-based tour guide and part-time UL Public History MA student. Yesterday we got TIARA-BLE news from the #Louvre. Inspired by the headlines, let’s look at the greatest #HeistHistories during my week-long student takeover #HI6171 📸: Louvre

Today let's explore the #HeistHistories surrounding the 1911 theft of the #MonaLisa. For anyone who's visited the #Louvre and joined the Mona mosh pit, it's hard to believe she was once unpopular, and that it was the very act of being stolen that transformed her into a pop culture icon.

Northern Ireland, 2004. Just six sleeps until Christmas. Late in the evening, two separate households hear knocks at their doors, but it’s not carolers who await. It’s armed men, arriving to take the families of bank employees hostage. So begins the intense story of the #NorthernBankHeist. #HI6171
