Climate activists in British courts after damaging Van Gogh’s paintings

Two climate activists will undergo trial in England on charges of damaging a painting to the Dutch international artist Vincent Van Gogh during an exhibition held at the Courtold Institute at the end of last June and was one of the first protests held by environmental activists to museums.

The two demonstrators, Emily Brocley Bank, 24, and Louis Makknni, 22, attached themselves to the framework of the peach tree plate by the international artist Van Gogh and the police were called, and the solvents were used to separate the demonstrators from the frame.
The initial evaluation was that the painting was not affected by the protest before it was proven that the frame was permanently damaged.

As the United Nations talks at the Climate Conference in Egypt continued, the demonstrators at the same time targeted sculptures in three European cities.
In the wake of a protest of climate activists, the Italian Minister of Culture warned that the prices of entry into museums may rise with the increase in museums for the security measures that were developed to thwart future climate protests, according to the Italian newspaper AdNkronos.

“The attacks and continuous attacks that are increasingly occurring at the expense of our artistic and cultural heritage require us to rethink and enhance the level of protection in museums, these measures lead us to take immediate action, starting with covering all paintings with glass barriers. “.
