That man needs a raise, he is the first one that stopped the activists before they wasted food and glued themselves to the wall, amazing job!

What these people, who don’t understand BASIC human psychology, is the more you try to force people to accept you, the more they will try NOT to accept you or your ideology. You cannot FORCE people to stand with you.

Every time I see activists of any sort doing protests like these, I care/know lesser of their cause and start appreciating more of what’s being attacked. Basically the opposite of what they think they’re accomplishing.

I’m an artist and if this happened with my work, I’d be devastated. How dare they disgrace the incredible artists who aren’t even here anymore!!! Have some respect, atleast for the dead.

Imagine believing that vandalizing art will lower the global temperature…

If only activists could put these efforts into actually solving the problem.

As a history nerd give that man a raise

Case in point right here why Priceless artwork especially paintings need to be kept behind glass for there protection

Never understand activists who think it's a good idea to give people a reason to dislike you and your cause.

As a Norwegian, I am proud of the swift action by the guards and police.

That man needs a raise, protecting the historic artwork from being ruined by protesters, Great Job.

I swear if I go to an art museum and see something like this is about to happen I'm gonna get to swinging

Honestly, as a fellow artist, I am very upset to see others ruining or attempting to ruin works of art. There has to be a more appropriate way to bring attention to your cause without resolving to shoddy tactics. This will have the opposite affect of whatever you're hoping to achieve because it's offensive. Leave art alone!

I don't think they realize how bad the process of making the glue is for the environment

Protect the ART at all costs.

Very good this man deserves a raise.

What I’m confused about is how do they think this will get their point across. This is only gonna make people hate them.

I’m so happy that he stopped them, I’m not a art fan but the scream is legit one of the most famous paintings and I can’t imagine it being ruined

Thanks to this, strict restrictions will set place in all art museums. We really can't have nice things. They're causing no more than disturbances around the world and cringely failing to spread their message

Finally, stopping these criminals and arresting them for their crimes.

im actually learning how being a climate activist is more stupid then doing nothing.

As a Malaysian, I can only imagine how smooth their mind is. If you're a climate change activist, advise everyone to grow trees instead of doing idiotic things like this.

"we're gonna destroy what you love and then stand there like we're proud of it" is just mind-boggling strategy. Like, wow, that makes me wanna join your cause so bad rn

Proud to be a Norwegian, and not a lunatic.

Great job, museum staff.

I have a legitimate question....who is going to be swayed in a positive manner by seeing these "demonstrations"? It just makes them look crazier than they already do. Seriously? Who thinks this is a good idea?

Those people need to be stopped. It's shameful.

When these "kids" grow up, like say double their age now... DO YOU THINK they'll look back at this and be like, "Man we were so young & dumb" and regret it?? OR, will they be like, "What we did back then was some of the bravest things a person can do! I'm so happy we did it!" 🤔🤔

All of these people need to be punished severely, this is absolutely unacceptable and honestly it just creates enemies and turns people against your cause.

I’m hoping all artwork these days is protected like this. Thick, shatter-proof glass and indestructible frame. Basically impossible to damage the art

Museums need to start scanning people to make sure they don’t come in with any items

People forgot how to protest. Making people hate you is not the right way

The man's a soldier on the front line, defending art for society. Bravo!

When somebody thinks that throwing soup and then gluing themselves to the wall next to the soup thinks they're teaching you a lesson, you don't correct them or clean it up. You apologize and leave them to hang out with the stinky soup and close the museum for the weekend.

This man needs a raise! Thank you for protecting our beloved art 🖼️ ❤

Glue is more valuable than those people.

I know two kinds of people who try to save the world. One group is like my cousin who has a beach right in front of his house (public beach) which he cleans up every damn day. He literally comes home, grabs some garbage bags and cleans that beach for 2-3 hours every day. The other group is glueing themselfs to the streets or vandalizing art.

As someone who feels just about helpless to the climate change problem, I can't explain the fury I feel for attacking art. I know it's not damaged, but to one day be able to say I've seen art that has amazed people for decades that's a goal that is somewhat obtainable to an average person.

My guy looked like he was about to go in for the tackle.

So far museums around the world have been fortunate that no works of art have suffered any permanent damage from these protesters... but I fear eventually a valuable work of art will be damaged or destroyed for the sake of "climate change"?! I'd hate to think the freedom of visiting any museum, will result in routine metal scanners and body checks like the TSA at airports, similar to what I was subjected to on my visit to NYC in 2017. I went through "bag checks" at... The Met, the Guggenheim, the MOMA, the Empire State Building, the NY Public Library and the 9/11 Memorial Museum! All of them except the NY Public Library, I had to leave my tote bag at a "bag check" station during my visit, then retrieve on my way out! Pathetic...

Honestly, this is probably my most loved painting and seeing people do this to such a historical piece is just sad…

There’s no way to make me less sympathetic to a cause than needlessly destroying a valuable piece of human art/history.

This is the first security guard to actually do his job

Oh how I commend these activists! Exercising their rights in such a peaceful manner!

Finally people taking action against idiots of humanity, props to the man who stopped them in time. he's a living legend

How is this even helping people?

Gold standard of security right there

Consequences to these type of crimes should be higher… it’s a question of time until someone destroys something important permanently

They gotta stop i understand what their trying to do but vandalism is never the answer. Your just making it worse.

The fact that they weren’t just stopped by employees, but also detained until the police arrived is beyond epic.

0:10 that guy is incredibly tense

THESE ACTIVISTS NEED TO BE STOPPED!

What these protesters need to understand is that gluing themselves to the Wall or throwing food at a painting will not help your organization or group In anyway and will only harm it. It will only bring negative reputation because your harming a beloved masterpiece.

Finally, a man of action. Sick of how nobody around was reacting to previous attempts.

Very nice indeed but seeing that this is Norway it makes it even more sad that those people will most likely get no punishment at all

Can’t the museum just let them stay glued to the wall a few days? 😂

I don’t think making people dislike you has ever been a good way to gain popular support for a movement.

I don't remember where it happened, but does anyone remember the activists who super glued themselves to a floor of a museum, then complained because everyone ignored them and closed at the proper time leaving them stuck on the floor with no food/water or anyway to relieve themselves. They had to release their waste right into their pants.

Please put those paintings in a glass case.

Calling these overgrown children "activists" and "protestors" is giving them WAY too much credit. Even my two year old knows better than to throw soup on the wall.

Just put them in prison. That will teach them

they don't know how hard it is to make one painting

Well done Sir!

the protesters: lets put papers and food on painting to warn people me: what is this gonna solve

Respect to museum staff

We need a man like him, stopping them from gluing their hands to a wall. And seriously tho, the entire museum is getting more security on the historical arts just to protect against these clowns.

Glass covering the work? Thank goodness

That guard was true mvp

Out of all the paintings they could have targeted, why did they have to go for one of my favorite works of art. “The Scream” has been one I have loved since enjoying classical art and still is.

The level of selfishness absolutely floors me. I feel embarrassed for them.

Thank god she said protective glass I was bouta shat myself

When you don't want to work hard, learn, or take on the challenge of initiating change through your own means, you glue yourself to something.

Museums need security that act more like retired quarterbacks. This man is a great example.

It is just so baffling of how can someone promote something through hate and anger. Wouldn’t that just do the opposite effect? That man needs a praise!

I need to be a museum security guard

You know I understand protesting climate change, but like why do all of them try to destroy paintings

Not many people know that Munch originally planned to add a thought bubble with, "Oh no. Soup!"

Not all heroes wear capes

The scream is too iconic to be wasted

Just let them glue themselves to the painting like they wanted to. Leave ‘em stuck there for a week and they won’t make another sound.

I still don’t understand how there’s a correlation between oil companies and art pieces lol

What's with activists and art museums like what did they ever do.

Do they really think throwing food and glueing themselves to a wall was a good way to get people to side with them

Good, please protect this man and honor him for he protected and honored this historical art and the integrity of his museum

It's never about awareness to any problems to get solutions, it's always about vandalism. Tearing down what we look at as beauty. It's a direct spiritual attack on you. The individual.

Thank God! Bless that man. He did so well.

Give this museum staff some credits 👍🏻

This really just makes me want the planet to burn faster than it already is. Activism never knows how to do it right

Huge respect!

That's the kind of response we need to see more of.

This makes me want to do everything in my power NOT to support them.

“Beauty’s attractive, and we don’t want people to be attracted by old things. We want them to like the new ones.” - Mustapha Mond, A Brave New World.

Thank you!

They should put tough glass over each painting and search every person that comes in to see the painting's and increase security.

My #1 favourite painting! glad the staff caught them before they attempted to damage the painting/frame. Good job staff!

You’d think these types of people would also have a big love for art

How does this stop oil exploration?

I would like to see the video of them just ripping their hands off the wall lets see just how sticky it is haha lol

My first thought when people glue themselves to immovable objects (walls, floors, etc) is just leave them there. Remove anything valuable or that they could use and let them enjoy the consequences of their action. At least for a few days. Many people could agree with their basic statement, however as others have pointed out, this type of protest mostly turns people against them. And unless there is some direct connection to a specific artist, why deface/destroy the art? And kudos to the guard. Great awareness.

Shame, ostracization, talking down, detroying art is the opposite of persuasive. Use that energy to make your community greener in clever ways and put it on social media while you educate. So many people winning over hearts every day on social media in beautiful ways!
