The activists then held up a modified Coca-Cola banner reading "climate justice."

After being reported, the two activists cooperated with police; so neither of them was detained, however, the museum said that it will submit a claim for damages caused. The activists claimed that the purpose of their act was to emphasise the climate emergency the world is facing, AFP reported.

Both protesters belonged to Futuro Vegetal, a Spanish organisation. Some other activists of the organisation glued their hands to the frames of paintings by Franciso Goya at Madrid's Prado Museum.

Activists worldwide are rapidly targeting famous museums calling for action to address climate change. The most recent one occurred when activists threw mashed potatoes on a Monet masterpiece and threw soup at paintings by Vincent van Gogh in London and Rome. Earlier this week, the top world museums said that they were "deeply shaken" by these acts and believed activists "severely misjudged" them.&nbsp;
