Climate activists in Norway tried to stick to Edvard Munch’s 1893 painting “The Scream” at a museum in Oslo on Friday.
Norwegian police said two people tried to stick to the famous painting while a third person filmed them. “The Scream” was in a frame protected by glass, preventing any damage from being done.
While the paint was not damaged, glue residue could be seen on the glass mount.
Video of people trying to stick to the glass frame shows one person yelling “I scream for people dying.”
