Vandals Shatter Chagall Masterpiece

According to the CBC, an unknown number of vandals shattered part of a stained glass window by Marc Chagall as they broke into the 13th century Saint-Étienne de Metz cathedral in the French city of Metz. “The vandal or vandals smashed a 40 by 60 centimentre hole in Chagall’s 1963 biblical scene depicting Adam and Eve[.]”

To make matters worse (for the vandals that is), France passed a new law last month “that makes anyone who damages a historic building or cultural treasure subject to as much as seven years in prison and a $150,000 fine[.]”

“A statement from the Culture Ministry in Paris said experts would fix the window by fitting together pieces of broken glass that were collected from the site.” Clancco advice: buy stock in Super Glue!
