Paris is a just a expansive museum with life streaming through it. In louver they have automatic dropping glass cages to protect Mona Lisa from water damage and arson.They make billions off tourists each year. they got to have measures in place, for every possibility. It was a great loss to world culture. | |

For example, nobody has yet worked out how the spire of Salisbury Cathedral (the tallest in the UK) was built at all, given the technology available at the time. By the logic of modern structural engineering there must have been a temporary supporting structure that was later removed, but there is no historical record of what it was. This has been a puzzle for a long time - the first person who attempted to solve it (and failed) was Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of St Paul's Cathedral and a contemporary of Isaac Newton. | |

A sprinkler system that operates when not required could cause irreparable damage to the decoration of the building. comparable with a fire. Not to mention the potential damage and visual intrusion caused by installing such a system. | |
