“This nightmarish picture before us, this is what awaits us if no alternative is implemented! At +4°C, it’s hell that awaits us,” the woman shouted.
The management of the museum announced that the painting was restored, that the exhibition was opened to the public and that it would file a lawsuit.
The Riposte alimentaire organization that fights for sustainable food has carried out several similar attacks in recent months.
She has to her credit the attack on Gioconda in the Louvre, Monet’s painting “Spring” in the Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon, Delacroix’s “Liberty Leads the People” in the Louvre.
