Stole Emmanuel Macron – SME culture
The mannequin was kidnapped by the Russian embassy.
Paris, BRATISLAVA. They passed through the security check without any problems. They looked like ordinary visitors, showed their backpacks, had nothing dangerous in them. No employee of Paris Musée Grévin has suspected that they wanted to destroy or steal something.
And yet they managed to seize the French wax dummy President and bring it to the street.
« They dropped another statue to distract the guard and escape with Marcon through the emergency east, » the museum manager described the situation that employed most of the French media Monday, June 2.
The perpetrators were members of the Greenpeace. Emmanuel Macron Then they placed the Russian embassy to point out its alleged hypocrisy, since France did not interrupt economic relations with Russia, although it publicly criticizes it. In their hands held a banner with the words: Ukraine It burns, the business continues.

The management of the museum does not yet know what state he gets back, writes Le Figaro, but is already seriously thinking about whether he will still exhibit some statues of politicians.
Macron was dear and unsuccessful
Politicians have been a long -term endangered species in wax museums. In Berlin in 2008 they cut off the head of Hitler. In Paris in 2014, members of the Ukrainian movement Femen Putin were destroyed. And in the Museum of Waxums in Texas they have been facing the statue of the statue a few times Baracka Obama. George W. Bush – and especially Donald Trump.
« It is not always intentional damage, sometimes not, » the New York Times quotes spokeswoman of the San Antonio Museum.
Figurines can also hurt when visitors are doing well to make a selfie with them.
However, since this is often a clear manifestation of vandalism based on negative emotions to the depicted person, the museums prefer to withdraw politicians from the exhibition and replace them with celebrities from show business.
In the famous Madame Tussauds Museum in London, they have been clear about it long ago. They do not expose anyone who can polarize the company.
It takes about eight hundred hours to create one dummy, writes the New York Times. There are twenty artists who need to measure the template at least two hundred times while they reach the desired form. When they don’t get live, they have to do with photos.
And it’s not just a lengthy process, but also expensive.
LE Figaro reports that in France the production of one wax sculpture costs approximately forty thousand euros. Specifically, Macronova had to be remodled, because it was not fully successful on the first attempt.
A dispute that does not concern us
The weakness of the exposed mannequins in Paris is that they are not installed fixed. Because workers have to move them quite often to various reasons. If they were secured by a protective system, the alarm would turn on non -stop.
This was also used by Greenpeace members at Emmanuel Macon. They just pulled it out of the replaceable rod.
The event itself in front of the Russian embassy in Paris only a few minutes. The police did not even have to intervene, they left themselves after their action was recorded by photographers.
The attacks on the exhibited works were mainly two years ago with major problems of world museums. Radical activists thus warned, for example, that it is not solved Climate crisis.
Director Muséé Grévin in Paris Yves Delhommeau is unhappy about it. « It has not been the first time that we have been a victim of a dispute that is not at all concerned. »
Despite the risk of something similar to repeat, former Presidents Nicolas Sarkozy, François Holland, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel, will remain among the dummies exhibited. Pope Francis or Karol III.
And after the revision again Emmanuel Macron.
