Anti-oil activists throw tomato soup at Van Gogh
Anti-oil activists have thrown tomato soup at Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting Sunflowers in London. The Museum National Gallery said that this caused minor damage to the frame.
The picture, which has an estimated value of around 84 million euros, was not damaged. The two members of the Just Stop Oil organization spilled the contents of two cans over the work of art in the National Gallery on Friday morning.

“Is art worth more than life? More than food? More than justice,” Just Stop Oil tweeted. “The cost of living crisis and the climate crisis are being driven by oil and gas.” Security forces led the women away.
