If protests in the name of the climate don’t harm museum collections permanently, and they bring real attention to the cause they’re championing, are they valid? Conservators have cleaned this bust of QV and she seems to be fine now. It was added to the statue by This Is Rigged, a non-violent direct action group that targets the Scottish Government for their slow progress on climate, food insecurity and the cost-of-living crisis. Nobody got hurt, and neither did the statue, but I wonder if anyone really took any notice?
