Protesters hurl soup at the ‘Mona Lisa’ in Paris
![]() 27784 Monday, 29 January, 2024, 20:18 Protesters hurled soup at the “Mona Lisa” painting in Paris on Sunday, but it was protected from damage by its glass casing. The environmental group Riposte Alimentaire — which roughly translates to “Food Response” — said two protesters involved with its campaign were behind the vandalism. Staff members at the Louvre are then seen moving black screens between visitors and the protesters. The museum evacuated the “Salle des Etats” room, which houses the “Mona Lisa,” though it has since reopened. “Two activists from the environmental movement ‘Riposte Alimentaire’ sprayed pumpkin soup on the armoured glass protecting the Mona Lisa, this Sunday, January 28, 2024, around 10am (4am ET),” a statement from the museum said. “The Louvre’s security staff immediately intervened.” |
