last generation
Climate activists glued themselves to a dinosaur skeleton in Berlin’s Natural History Museum on Sunday. At the best visiting time, two mothers of the “last generation” caused an incident in the large exhibition room, according to a statement from the organization shortly afterwards. The “victim” of the two women: a 66-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton. Security guards alerted the police. The perpetrators were taken away.
According to the “Last Generation”, the women wanted to use the campaign to draw attention to the federal government’s climate course, which they believe threatens the lives of all people. “Like the dinosaurs back then, we are threatened with climate changes that we cannot withstand. If we don’t want to see ourselves threatened with extinction, we have to act now.”
Caris Connell, one of the mothers, said: “I am afraid of wildfires, water shortages, famine and war. The dinosaurs became extinct because they couldn’t withstand the massive climate changes. The same threatens us: 150 species go extinct every day. And that is just the beginning.”
Everything for climate protection: Again and again attacks on historical cultural assets
It is not the first attack on valuable cultural assets: it was only last Sunday Two climate activists glued themselves to the picture “Getreidestack” in Potsdam’s Barberini Museum (from 1890; value: 111 million euros) by Claude Monet. Previously, they had dumped mashed potatoes on the painting. Because it was protected by glass, it was not damaged. However, the expensive historic picture frame now has to be restored.
A few days earlier, three climate activists were arrested in The Hague a violent attack on the painting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” (1665-1667) arrested by Johannes Vermeer in the Maruitshuis art museum. Climate activists stuck themselves to a luxury car at a car show in Munich on Saturday.
