Mona Lisa Attacked With a Teacup

An angry Russian woman pulled a teacup out of her purse and threw it at the Mona Lisa on August 2, the Louvre said on Tuesday. The Leonardo masterpiece, which is protected by bulletproof glass, was undamaged. "The work is intact, and viewing was only disturbed the time it took to pick up the pieces," said David Madec, a Louvre spokesman.
