Activists splattered the glass-covered “Mona Lisa” painting with soup at the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday, according to the food-security group behind the protest.
Two women opened thermoses and splashed the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting at about 10 a.m., said the group, Riposte Alimentaire, or “Food Response.” A video posted online by the group showed streaks and splashes of orange on the bullet-proof glass and the blue wall behind the painting.

Ahh, the french and their revolutions.
Im so happy the painting was protected by glass
But there’s glass so all they would do is clean the glass
How stupid. Ugh. Beyond cringe.
Why don't you take them out there breaking laws right?
I can that very good
How everyone went oh ohh , just for soup on glass
Oh no soup on glass , whats the world comming to😮
Menomale che c'era il vetro
I don’t get why the staff didn’t kick them out
Daddy issues leads to activism
Very disappointed with it being France. You'd think they'd at least throw a couple of leaves of Basil to dress the Soup and have someFresh Bread Rolls and Butter on the Barracade. Standards have slipped.
That’s not even the real Mona Lisa in the first place.
This is not original painting anyways , original one is with me 😂
Bring back the insane asylums.
Sick…its same as tourist coming to europe ruining our ancient artifiacts…2024 i hate people…youtube stupidity makes it clear even more daily.
the liza frame is protected don’t worry
Throwing super on glass 💀
They Are not activists, they Are JUST people doing something for views And hiding them selfs with acting as acticists
I wonder how much BlackRock payed these little floozies.
Pure knuckleheadism. What did the Mona Lisa do to them?
They came prepared with wall dividers and well trained lul
I keep seeing these, but never explains what they are protesting.
It's not real Mona anyways.
Does anyone know what they are protesting about?
Translation: we’ve had enough, we know nothing while other people know very little and we can’t figure any of it out. We want others to forget what they have learned so we can all be equal
Beyonce would be so Angry! Lol
Civil disobedience
I wonder if they realized that there was glass over it and it can just be washed off?
🇵🇸FREE PALISTINE🇵🇸
Looks staged
Translate?
I hope they were charged
Good thing it's behind glass……😮
Wht is the protest for?
It makes the country look like a bunch of cowards. This is their response? Wow I thought our country bowed down to protestors too much… This is a whole other level.
