It is the latest such action by climate activists at a museum, after targeting famous works of art in several cities across Europe.

In Berlin, two women in orange jackets were stuck to one of the metal poles supporting the skeleton of a more than 60 million-year-old dinosaur.

They held a banner that read, “What if the government doesn’t get the situation under control?”

One of the women, Karis Connell, said she feared “forest fires, water shortages, famines and wars.” Dinosaurs became extinct because they could not withstand the massive changes in climate. The 34-year-old added.

Another activist, Solveig Schenkuth, said she feared the consequences of climate change as a mother of four.

“Peaceful resistance is the way we have chosen to protect our children from governments’ deadly ignorance,” said the 42-year-old.

The museum said the incident was resolved within an hour with police intervention. In a statement, he said there was property damage and criminal charges had been filed.

The two activists belong to the “Last Generation” group that, earlier this month, published mashed potatoes on glass to protect Claude Monet’s “Les Meules” canvas at the Barberini Museum in Potsdam, Germany.

Environmental activists also stuck to glass to protect Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl with a Pearl Earring” at a museum in the Netherlands, and others threw soup over Vincent Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” at the National Gallery in London.
