Ask these 2 Germans who ruined a Monet painting with a Thanksgiving dish in the name of climate change. Food slinging is all the rage among European protesters.
See the most recent example of this kind in the video below. A man and a woman broke into the Barberini Museum in Potsdam, Germany, and threw several buckets of mashed potatoes onto Claude’s well-known “Les Meules” painting, which is estimated to be worth $109 million.
German Activists Ruin A Monet Painting With Food To Protest… Hunger?
Viewers are understandably alarmed by the scene as the alarm begins to sound. As soon as the protesters take a knee, the woman launches into a speech about societal priorities and climate change.
She claims that the purpose of their actions is to continue drawing attention to the fact that the use of fossil fuels is endangering the environment and that there are millions of hungry people in the world. She predicts that soon, the two issues will be intertwined as society struggles to feed its members. Security eventually moves in.
This is precisely what occurred last week in London when a second pair of climate activists threw tomato soup onto a Van Gogh painting that was worth $85 million. They were also apprehended and charged with criminal damage. People sneaking items into priceless works of art to vandalize them and essentially ruin them forever is a trend that we are seeing more and more of lately. Even the Mona Lisa has been exposed to extra calories, so this problem is obviously global.
It appears to be time to begin frisking museum visitors. also for messy meals, not just for weapons!
