a visitor to the Louvre Museum in Paris tried to smash the glass protecting the famous painting, and then smeared what looked like cake frosting across the surface.
is there any actual footage of said visitor trying to smash the bullet proof glass covering the mona lisa or is this literally just based off the one tweet news orgs seem to reference
this guy also is not associated with just stop oil from what i can tell
it seems pretty disingenuous to judge the demonstration in the post, or anyone supporting it, because ‘some completely unrelated guy did something completely unrelated once’
The only footage is of the aftermath. But if you want to disregard the eyewitness reports, then I guess you can be you.
Here’s a CNN report (you have to watch the video) where two eyewitnesses say the protestor tried to punch out the glass. I mean… I’m not accusing the person of being smart, trying to break bulletproof glass with their fists.
And I guess there’s always a chance this guy is from that other climate activist group that goes around vandalizing high-profile art, and then raving about how we’re killing the planet.
I really hate to break it to you, but that isn’t the Mona Lisa.
And also…
