Monet Painting Severely Damaged

Posted on October 8, 2007

A Monet painting wasseverely damaged at the Orsay Museum in Paris on Sunday. Vandals entered the museum and punched a four inch hole in Monet's "Le Pont d'Argenteuil." The hole may have been made by a fist.

CBS News reports that a group believed to be behind the damage was caught entering the museum by a surveillance camera.

You know what this means. More priceless paintings will be put behind plexiglass or removed from public view altogether. It's absolutely disgusting that someone would think this was a funny thing to do as a prank. I hope the French police catch them and introduce them to the joys of French prison life.
