Two Germans taped their paintings next to the Mona Lisa and got arrested. In Germany, this is called a gallery opening.
Germans arrested for taping own paintings beside the Mona Lisa at the Louvre
Two German men were arrested at the Louvre on Sept 19 after using sticky tape to attach two 30cm by 40cm paintings to a wall in the room housing the Mona Lisa. One canvas showed a man in armour, the other a portrait of both men with a woman. They told police they did it for fun. The Mona Lisa, behind protective glass, was undamaged; the men face court summons on a minor damage complaint.
