According to the London Central Museum and police, two climate change opponents were arrested after adhering to the frame of the famous John Constable painting in the National Gallery in the United Kingdom.
Two members of the protest group “Just Stop Oil” overcame the rope barrier on Monday and covered the “Hay Wain” with a large piece of paper depicting the landscape’s “apocalyptic vision of the future.” After that, they each placed their hands on the oil painting frame and protested as the guards guided a group of tourists and school children.
“The painting was removed from the wall for inspection by our conservation team,” the National Gallery later said. “The Hay Wain caused minor damage to the frame and there was some confusion on the surface of the varnish in the painting. Both are now well treated.”
According to the National Gallery, the painting was hung again on Tuesday.
