EatingMonaLisa

The Mona Lisa is eaten by deathwatch beetles.

However in 100 years after people, the humble dust infiltrate the neoprene seals and forge a path for moisture. Steven S. Ross stated that the tiniest crack or hole in the case will came moisture very easily making the case itself becomes the enemy of Mona Lisa. It creates a perfect habitat to deathwatch beetle and while it has nothing to do with dying, the beetles are wood eaters and the Mona Lisa is painted on wood, making it eating the painting. Gene Kritsky stated that for dessert, they'll save the smile for last.

In the unknown timeframe, the Louvre would collapse between after 100 years to before 2,000 years where it buried most of the treasures of the Louvre, including the Venus de Milo.
