JR carries a torch for art
French street artist JR (b. February 22, 1983) was tagged to carry the Olympic torch on a tour of the Louvre Museum.
"JR is one of 10,000 torchbearers who helped move the torch from Greece to its final destination in Paris' Jardin des Tuileries. French skier Sandra Laoura handed JR the flame in front of the iconic Louvre Pyramid, which is fitting considering that the artist once created a grand illusion that included the Pyramid.
"Holding the sleek minimalist torch, which was designed by Mathieu Lehanneur, he then took the flame on a tour of the iconic museum. The artist captured the moment, which he called "pretty crazy," on Instagram and even stopped to pose in front of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa."
