Published: 28 January 2024 at 12:05

Two climate activists threw soup at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum on Sunday and shouted slogans advocating for a sustainable food system. This came as French farmers have been protesting for days across the country against low wages and other problems. The Louvre employees could then be seen putting black panels in front of the Mona Lisa and asking visitors to evacuate the room.
