She hasn’t lost her legendary smile, thanks to her protective glass: “The Mona Lisa“, the most famous painting in the world, was entared on Sunday at the Louvre Museum in Paris, without consequence since it is placed behind armored glass, according to testimonies on social networks.
Solicited Sunday evening by AFP, the Louvre museum replied Monday that it did not wish to comment.
According to photos and testimonies posted by tourists on Twitter or Instagram on Sunday, the incident happened in the early afternoon.
A disguised man
Several photos show the protective glass of “The Mona Lisa” smeared with cream, cleaned by a man who seems to be a museum guard.
A Twitter user, who says he was present during the incident, claims the perpetrator was a disguised man with a wig, who got up from a wheelchair to hit the bulletproof glass, before to throw a cake at her.
This Twitter user (@lukeXC2002) also posts a video in which the man in question is seen standing next to his wheelchair and being escorted out by security.
