<p><em>A Russian woman frustrated at failing to obtain French nationality hurled a ceramic cup at the Mona Lisa but did not damage Leonardo da Vinci's famed portrait, a spokesman for the Louvre Museum said on Tuesday</em>.<span id="midArticle_byline">&nbsp;</span><span id="midArticle_0">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.reuters.com/resources/r/?m=02&amp;d=20090811&amp;t=2&amp;i=11194838&amp;w=192&amp;r=2009-08-11T112912Z_01_BTRE57A0VWU00_RTROPTP_0_JAPAN&amp;__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1250071088240" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p><span id="midArticle_2">&nbsp;</span>The other part i thought that was relevant in the article was other examples given of similar incidents.</p>
<p><em>In 2007, a man broke into the Musee D'Orsay in Paris and punched and damaged a painting by the French impressionist Claude Monet.</em></p>
<p><em>In 2008 a Cambodian woman was made to do community service after kissing a painting by American artist Cy Twombly at a gallery in southern France, leaving lipstick on the canvas.</em></p>
<p>Its sad that a small group spoil things for the rest of us. I remember one trip to the tate I was looking at a turner when some idiot came up to the painting and started pointing at it with a ball point pen mere mm from the canvas. Scary stuff Lucky the curators spotted the guy.</p>
