Man disguised as old woman in wheelchair throws cake at glass protecting Mona LisaPARIS  — A man seemingly disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa on Sunday at the Louvre Museum and shouted at people to think of planet Earth. Videos posted on social media appear to show a young man in a wig and lipstick who had arrived in a wheelchair. The man, whose identity was unknown, was also seen throwing roses in the museum gallery. The cake attack left a conspicuous white creamy smear on the glass but the famous work by Leonardo da Vinci was unharmed. Security guards were filmed escorting the wig-wearing activist away as he called out to the surprised visitors in the gallery: “Think of the Earth. There are people who are destroying the Earth. Think about it. Artists tell you: think of the Earth. That’s why I did this.”The 16th century Renaissance masterpiece has been targeted before. The painting was stolen in 1911 by a museum employee, an event which increased the painting's international fame. see, Video, Louvre, Mona Lisa, cake, Leonardo da Vinci, Museum
