Eco-idiots hurl SOUP over Mona Lisa at Louvre in Paris as they target $1bn masterpiece in latest shameless climate stunt
ECO-IDIOTS have hurled soup over the Mona Lisa at the Louvre in their latest shameless climate stunt.
The two climate clowns hurled the orange liquid over the priceless artwork at the museum in Paris.
Shock video shows the aftermath as they hurled the soup – possibly tomato – at the masterpiece.
They then jumped over the wooden barrier and proudly stood on either side of their handiwork.
The duo then smugly preached to the shocked tourists trying to enjoy their trip to the gallery about their message.
Security promptly put up screens to block their protest and the soup-smeared Mona Lisa.
Leonardo da Vinci’s masterwork is believed to be the most valuable painting in existence.
It is estimated to be worth as much as $1billion.
And thankfully the piece of world history – which is more than 500-years-old – is believed to have been undamaged by the latest antics.
Mona Lisa has been protected by glass since the late 1950s – with a bulletproof sheet keeping it safe from vandals.
Eco-hooligans targeted the painting as part of their ongoing campaign of disruption and attention-seeking.
The group are believed to have been from a group of activists known as “Food Response”.
The deranged duo told onlookers they were promoting “the right to healthy food” and raged at baffled witnesses about farms.
It is the latest stunt centred around the painting – after someone threw a custard pie at it in May 2022.
The celebrated Da Vinci portrait was painted in 1503, and has become one of the most famous pieces of artwork in the world.
It is viewed by over 10 million people per year, and this is not the first time it has been targeted.
It was famously nicked by a museum employee in 1911, and was returned two years later.
In 1956, the Mona Lisa was splashed with acid, whilst in 2009 a cup of tea was thrown against the painting.
