Neutral summary
Two German nationals were arrested on Saturday, 19 September, after they stuck two paintings on a wall of the hall that hosts the Mona Lisa in the Louvre museum in Paris, police sources said. The incident took place at around 15:30 local time. The men, who said they acted 'for fun', attached the paintings with adhesive tape. Each painting measured 30 by 40 centimetres: one depicted one of the men wearing armour, the other showed portraits of both men with a woman. Museum security intercepted the two individuals. The Mona Lisa itself was not damaged, but slight damage was found on the wall, according to AFP. The arrests were reported by Le Parisien, 20 Minutes, Sud Ouest, France 24, Ouest-France, CNews and other outlets.
