The National Gallery in London has banned liquids, except baby formula, milk, and prescribed medicines, after multiple attacks on its artwork. This decision follows incidents where activists caused physical damage to pieces like Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and Constable's The Hay Wain. Two Just Stop Oil protesters were recently jailed for throwing soup on Sunflowers, causing £10,000 worth of damage. The gallery spokesperson cited distress to visitors and staff as reasons for the new security measures, advising visitors to carry minimal items and expect longer entry times.
