Louvre Museum: Angry tourist throws pie at Monalisa
The attack was defined as “vandalism.” However, since the painting is protected by bullet-proof glass, the creamy product never reached its target.
But video footage from tourists visiting the exhibition went viral. Louvre museum staff was quick to clean the area, as dozens of onlookers recorded the moment with their cell phones, separated from the painting by a black protective tape.
In one of the videos shared on Twitter, a black wheelchair can be seen abandoned in front of the oil painting, before a museum worker removed it.
The person sharing the video explained the attack had been perpetrated by a man in the wheelchair wearing a wig who got up to throw the bisque.
