Last night, the famous painting was stolen from the main gallery by a very clumsy thief.

The time marker "Last night" tells us we need the past tense. Because "painting" is a singular subject, we use the singular past passive form "was stolen".

Because of this embarrassing event, the museum doors are locked at exactly 5 PM every day now to prevent further disasters.

The phrases "every day" and "now" indicate a present routine. Since "doors" is a plural subject, we use the plural present passive form "are locked".
