　　They were taken overnight on Wednesday and reported missing early on Thursday，officials say.The museum，across the River Seine from the Eiffel Tower，has been cordoned off(戒严) by investigators.Security camera footage reportedly shows someone entering the museum through a window during the night.

　　“This is a serious crime to the heritage of humanity，” Christophe Girard，deputy culture secretary at the Paris Town Hall，told a news conference.

　　The theft was committed by “one or more individuals who were obviously organised”，Mr.Girard said.He added that investigators were looking into how the museum’s security system and several guards were outsmarted(用计谋打败) by the thief or thieves.

　　Mr Girard put the value of the stolen paintings at just under 100m euros (￡86m；D|S123m)．They had earlier been estimated to be worth some 500m euros (￡431m；D|S618m)．The five missing paintings are Dove with Green Peas by Pablo Picasso (painted in 1911)，Pastoral by Henri Matisse (1906)，Olive Tree near l’Estaque by Georges Braque (1906)，Woman with Fan by Amedeo Modigliani (1919) and Still Life with Candlestick by Fernand Leger (1922)．
