Two young women who describe themselves as activists threw tomato soup at one of the world's most famous paintings, the Mona Lisa at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
"What is more important? Art or the right to healthy and sustainable food? Our agricultural system is sick," two women shouted after throwing soup on the Mona Lisa painting Sunday morning at the Louvre Museum.
This attack is one of dozens carried out by activists on major works of art around the world.

Leonardo da Vinci's 16th-century painting, which is protected by bulletproof glass, is one of the most famous works of art in the world and is housed in the Louvre museum in Paris.
As seen in the video, a woman approaches the painting and throws a bowl of soup, damaging the glass covering the painting.
The Mona Lisa has been behind safety glass since the early 1950s, when it was damaged by a visitor who threw acid on it.
In 2019, the museum said it had installed a more transparent form of bulletproof glass to protect it.
In 2022, an activist threw cake at the painting, calling on people to "think about the Earth".
