A group that represents cultural organisations in Germany criticised climate activists on Thursday for gluing themselves to the frames of famous paintings in museums to protest what they say is the German government’s failure to act against climate change.

The German Cultural Council, an umbrella group of cultural organisations, accused the activists of endangering important works with their protest and warned them not to pit art against the cause of curbing global warming.
