Belgian Influencers Hang Self‑Portrait in Mona Lisa’s Gallery at the Louvre

The video rekindles scrutiny of Louvre security following last month’s jewel heist.

Overview

  • Neal and Senne posted footage showing them discreetly mounting their own painting in the same room as the Mona Lisa.
  • They brought the canvas rolled and carried a frame in pieces to clear checkpoints, then assembled it inside the museum.
  • They entered about an hour before closing and placed the work near Paris Bordone’s “Portrait of Flora” before departing.
  • Despite recently announced tighter checks after the October 19 theft, it remains unclear how long the piece stayed on the wall.
  • There have been no public reports of arrests or stated legal steps by the museum, and the exact date of the stunt is not confirmed.
