The Dallas Museum of Art attempted to set a Guinness World Record on Thursday by gathering the largest group of people dressed as Frida Kahlo in one place. Each participant had to adhere to Guinness guidelines, including dressing in a knee-length flower-print dress, wearing a red or pink shawl in addition of having at least three flowers in his or her hair. The event was organised to commemorate the famous Mexican artist's 110th birthday. Guinness is expected to announce in few weeks if the DMA pulled off the record.
Visitors were evacuated from the Louvre, Paris, on Friday morning, after an unidentified man tried to gain access to the Louvre Shopping Center by rushing at four soldiers, who attempted to subdue the man with non-lethal force, before one of the soldiers shot the suspect in the abdomen, leaving the suspect seriously wounded. Armed police officers, police cars and ambulances surrounded the famous museum after the incident. A Louvre spokesperson has said the museum is closed for the moment. The police reported that the suspect shouted "Allah Akbar" before he was shot by a soldier on guard at the museum. French Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the incident was "clearly" an "attack of a terrorist nature."
