Two female environmental activists sprayed soup on Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, displayed at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

According to foreign media such as the Associated Press on the 28th, environmental activists chanted slogans about the ‘continuous food system’ and sprayed soup on the artwork.

They shouted after the incident, about the problem of our agricultural system getting sick and farmers dying while working in a row.

Shortly after the incident, museum staff set up a black screen in front of the Mona Lisa and asked visitors to leave, and the activists were arrested by local police.
