  "summary": "Two Germans were arrested after sticking two paintings to a wall in the Louvre museum's Mona Lisa hall in Paris. The paintings, measuring 30 by 40 cm, were attached using sticky tape and depicted the two men, one wearing armour and the other alongside a woman.\n\nAccording to police sources, security officers detained the men and called the police, who arrested them for minor damage to the wall. The men told police they did it for fun.\n\nThe Mona Lisa itself was not damaged, as it is behind a thick layer of protective glass. The incident comes after a spate of heists at French museums and galleries, including a daylight heist at the Louvre last October in which eight items of jewellery worth millions of US dollars were stolen.",
