November 2022
Environmental activists in Barcelona poured beetroot juice and syrup onto protective glass display cases in the Egyptian Museum, targeting the exhibits as part of a climate protest demanding stronger government action. The artifacts were not harmed, but the liquid covered the cases while protesters held signs and shouted climate-related messages. Staff intervened and conservators inspected the displays afterward, as the incident fueled wider debate about increasingly disruptive protest tactics inside museums.
