On Sunday afternoon, the climate protesters held another exhibit. This time a dinosaur skeleton was selected in the Berlin Museum of Natural History, to which the two activists have attached themselves.
The images showed two women wearing orange vests and holding up a banner that read, “What if the government couldn’t handle it?” we cannot resist. If we don’t want to face extinction, we must act now. “
Climate protesters attack dinosaur skeletons in Berlin
According to the Berlin police, the activists are two women aged 34 and 42. They were released from bars and taken into police custody. Complaints and criminal charges have been filed for trespassing and property damage. “The operation there in the museum should be active again,” a police spokesman said.
Climate activists have repeatedly stirred up discussions with controversial actions recently. For example, they regularly blocked the streets of Berlin or chained themselves to the posts during a Bayern game. Museums were also attacked. Three climate activists were arrested in The Hague Thursday after an attack on Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring”.
Actions on works of art stimulate discussions
A week ago, activists from the Barberini Museum in Potsdam poured a liquid on Claude Monet’s painting “Grainstacks”, which was equipped with protective glass. The “Last Generation” group confessed to the crime and spoke of a mashed potato attack.
Monet’s painting was not damaged thanks to enamel and a special felt strip, according to the museum. The museum has since been closed because security measures had to be discussed with the funders for the current Surrealism exhibit. The house is expected to reopen this Monday. (dpa / mp)
