A number of climate activists poured black liquid over Gustav Klimt's iconic painting "Death and Life" in Vienna, today, Tuesday.

The work was undamaged, however, those attacks against art increased.

Last week, Three climate activists were arrested after they targeted Edvard Munch's iconic masterpiece, The Scream, at a museum in Oslo, Police said on Friday.

Two people attempted to attach themselves with glue to the painting while the third was seen capturing a video of the incident, Norwegian NTB News Agency reported.

The video showed the activists shouting: "I scream for people dying" and the second called out "I scream when lawmakers ignore science."

There was some glue left on the glass, and no damage was recorded for the painting itself.
