Overview
- The pair used a disassemblable LEGO frame and a rolled painting to clear screening, reassembled the frame inside, and mounted their piece in the gallery that houses the Mona Lisa.
- They entered roughly an hour before closing, found the area by the painting heavily guarded, and hung their work a few meters away in the same room.
- Their social-media video documents the method step by step, including pulling a bag through the scanner while filming in real time.
- The incident comes after the Louvre tightened protections following the October 19 theft of nine Crown jewels, prompting fresh questions about operational gaps.
- No arrests or formal sanctions were reported by the outlets as of publication, and the accounts rely largely on the duo’s own footage.
