Belgian TikTokers Neal and Senne have pulled off a bold prank in the Louvre. They brought their own image and managed to display it right near the «Mona Lisa» by Leonardo da Vinci. Notably, museum workers couldn’t notice the new «exhibit.»

To pass through the metal detector, the pranksters used a picture frame built of Lego bricks. They set up the whole composition — with the painting initially rolled up — right in the museum. A construction set is not among the items prohibited for entry.

When the museum began to close and visitors were asked to leave the halls, the TikTokers finally completed their plan by hanging their piece on the wall.

Separately, following the Oct. 19 Louvre heist, a photo of the «suspects» published by The Lamented — a satirical Facebook page — which immediately charmed social media users, went viral.
