In a protest against the French agricultural system and a call for wholesome, sustainable food, two climate activists threw soup at the Mona Lisa in the Louvre.

Two climate activists protested against the French agricultural system and demanded the right to "healthy and sustainable food" on Sunday by throwing soup at the bullet-proof glass protecting Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" in the Louvre museum in Paris. This follows a series of similar stunts by activists targeting renowned paintings to demand more action to phase out fossil fuels and protect the planet. The Louvre has previously reported similar incidents, with one individual throwing a custard pie at the painting. In each case, the Louvre's security measures have prevented any damage to the artwork.
