A man disguised as an old lady was seen on a wheelchair in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. He threw a cake on a painting and hit the glass covering the painting. The painting was none other than Mona Lisa which was painted by the Leonardo da Vinci. This behavior was a jaw-dropping one. Everyone crowded and panicked at the incident. The man was caught by the police. He was taken to a psychiatric unit due to his behavior. The police did an investigation on the cultural artifact but luckily a special glass protected the painting. Before, in the 1950’s, the painting was damaged by a person because acid was thrown to the painting.
