<p>Guards at London's National Gallery, where the blockbuster Leonardo da Vinci show is on display now, are planning two-hour strikes on Jan. 19 and 28, as well as Feb. 2 and 4.</p>
<p><!--more-->The planned strikes are a result of the National Gallery's rule that guards, or "gallery assistants," must watch two rooms at a time instead of one. According to the <em>Guardian</em>, guards<a href="http://www.observer.com/2011/07/nicolas-poussin-painting-vandalized-at-national-gallery/"> "claim this allowed a man to attack two Poussin paintings in July."</a> Apparently, the guard was in the other room when the incident occurred. Unlike many museums, the National Gallery does not have a strict bag policy, which lead the <em>Guardian</em>'s <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/jonathanjonesblog/2011/jul/18/poussin-golden-calf-national-gallery-security">Jonathan Jones to call</a> the damaged Poussin canvases "sitting ducks."</p>
