I don’t think so. The climate change stunts didn’t actually destroy anything as they only glued themselves/threw soup on the glass coverings. If they were really looking at it they’d see the different between that and this sort of irreversible damage.



At least some of the protesters did destroy some paintings. Eg.: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/climate-protesters-campai...


From your link:

"Like the other targeted artworks, the painting was not damaged by the stunt"

Unless you're referring to the 1914 vandalism the article mentions.


The article you linked to doesn't support your claim. It mentions 3 recent attacks, and all the paintings (Leonardo, Van Gogh, Vermeer) were apparently protected by glass and not damaged.
