Summary/Abstract: The article is a critical reflection on the situation that European museums of art were confronted with in 2022 on the acts of activism on art museums paintings. Following the act of the Just stop oil girls in London October 2022 the world started talking on the topic of „vandalism on art” and „activism in museums”. The article has 3 parts, first with describing facts, a short view of the situation, second with an art historian’s critical views and analyses of then and third with the activist views on the problem. All the reflections are adapted to the Romanian context, so the article both describes the context and gives some opinions on the present situation.
