The activists can be heard, in the footage shouting: “Stop the fossil destruction

In the video, they also expressed their disappointment over the Museum, for its association with OMV, an Austrian oil, gas, and petrochemical company

The activists urge urgency to take measures against climate breakdown & also suggest that the speed limit should be of 100km/h on highways for vehicles that run on fuels

On the day of the incident, the museum commemorated the death of Leopold III, an Austrian Prince & allowed free entry to the museum, where OMV, an oil and gas giant of Austria, was the sponsor

The Death and Life painting is Gustav Klimt’s well-known work which represents death on the left end, and the other end depicts half-naked people hugging each other
