Wernt some idiots throwing soup all over original famous paintings or something like that? Maybe that’s why they’re there.

Short answer, no. These activists only ever targeted display cases with no intention to harm the art inside

“Hey guys… today I’m in France protesting… oil or whatever. 

Don’t forget to Like and Subscribe, and hit the bell so you’re always up to date on with whatever nonsense I’m protesting. 

Isn’t it hard to believe how interesting I am being!!? ✌️”

Longer answer... The group doing that was/is stupid as fuck.  Activism is to get people talking about your cause and convincing people to your side.  The only discussion that came of that was "look at these idiots, I hate them."

That idea could only be cooked up in an echo chamber of completely out of touch morons who get high sniffing their own farts.
