is it her birthday ?

Scone-a Lisa...

Getting that close to the Mona Lisa is a feat in and of itself.

It's probably a fake replica anyway, and the real one is boxed up underground in the vaults.

- sick... bring in the hardware

Wrong. The glass screen about 10 cm in front was smeared with Cake.

That's why there is a replica, not an original one, they bare keeping original paintings in to their basements.

I take it the bulletproof glass it sits behind is not cake proof!

She wasn’t impressed

Mona and cake is climate change warning? Why can't humans have nice things and leave it at that? go hug a tree like the rest of us Earth lovers...

What did Mona do?

First meal she's had in like forever.

But it wasn’t a party and no rules were broken.

Silly!! 👎

How to get people to hate you: Destroy or attempt to harm priceless works of art for politics. I was willing to listen about climate change stuff, but nah. Y’all are as bad as PETA.

The *glass* protecting the Mona Lisa was smeared with cake

Some people think that because they cite a good overall cause, that no matter what they do to get attention for themselves, it's just fine and everyone will give them a round of applause. Good causes are not a shield to needlessly be a pr*ck.

Well I hope the French police dealt with this in their normal heavy handed way....climate protesters need to be brought down a peg or two....

A 'real' climate protester would not do this. It must have been some 'loser' trying to get his 5 minutes of fame.

Take that Mona! Maybe you will learn your lesson and fix the climate crisis!

'Cos that helps the cause.

Let her eat cake!

Jubilee cake I hope !! That’ll show the French and 16th century Italian painters everywhere

To protest this ridiculous climate protest, I'm going to idle my car for 8 hours.

Would it be so hard to write 'Glass covering Mona Lisa smeared with cake by suspected climate protester'?

There'll be nobody left to admire the Mona Lisa within a generation, cake or no cake.

You tell that the schools are off 🙄🤣
