  "summary": "Two Germans were arrested on Saturday after they stuck two paintings on 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 one of the men in armour and a portrait of the two men with 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 had done it for fun.\n\nThe Mona Lisa itself was not damaged, as it is behind a thick layer of protective glass. The two men will be summoned to appear in court once the museum files a formal complaint.",
