Monet Painting Vandalized by Climate Activists in Stockholm Museum

Two climate activists, wearing T-shirts with the logo of the environmental organization Återställ Våtmarker, smeared red paint on a Monet painting on display at the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. The painting is being inspected by museum conservators to determine whether there is any damage. The two women have been arrested and charged with suspicion of serious damage. The incident follows a wave of climate protests at museums and art institutions in Canada, the United States, and Europe. The National Museum in Stockholm opposes actions that risk damaging works of art.
