NEWS FLASH! Mona Lisa Attacked with Soup!

 

It’s only been a few hours since two protestors threw soup at the glass enclosure around Mona Lisa —
but already someone posted this cartoon.

News sites had quite a few action shots. No surprise— 
on an average day probably 100 people have cameras aimed at Mona Lisa.
Now the bullet-proof glass is tested: it’s also soup-proof
and an earlier protest has showed that it’s cream-pie proof.



I feel an obligation to include this important event on my blog since I am a committed collector of Mona Lisa objects, also known as jocondology.

Mona Lisa loves soup.

Normal crowd around Mona Lisa (from my most recent visit).

That is crazy, why throw soup at the Mona Lisa painting.
It has nothing to do with climate change.
The cartoon image is funny.
Have a great day and happy week ahead.

I wonder what the punishment is for throwing soup at the Mona Lisa.

I just heard about this earlier today! I’m glad that the ML is encased to protect it.

I hadn't heard until just now. I hope they arrested the culprits.
