Climate Protesters Vandalize Queen Victoria Bust in Glasgow Museum

Two activists smeared jam and porridge on the bust to protest against food insecurity, leading to their arrest.

Two women, aged 23 and 30, were arrested after vandalizing a Queen Victoria bust in Glasgow's Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
The protest, organized by the group This Is Rigged, aimed to highlight increasing food insecurity.
Activists smeared the bust with jam and porridge and spray-painted an expletive on its plinth.
The group demands a reduction in baby formula prices to March 2021 levels and a community food hub for every 500 households in Scotland.
The museum was temporarily closed due to the protest, but later reopened, though the section containing the bust remains closed for damage assessment.
