The bloggers used a frame made from LEGO bricks to get through security. The metal detectors did not react to the construction pieces, and they hid the actual painting in a bag. After passing through the inspection, Neil and Senne were able to assemble the frame directly in the museum hall.
Despite the initial intervention of security, the bloggers managed to attach their work to the wall before the museum closed.
This incident occurred just a few weeks after a major robbery, during which criminals stole nine valuable items belonging to Napoleon and French monarchs from the Louvre. So far, most of the stolen items remain unrecognized.
