Protesters target ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ painting in Dutch museum

Climate activists have targeted Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer’s famed ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’ at a museum in The Hague.

The Just Stop Oil protestors tried to glue themselves to the famous artwork but video footage shows them failing miserably.

Two men are seen wearing white t-shirts, and one activist can be seen trying to glue his bald head to the painting.

Dutch police have said three arrests had been made at a museum, but provided no details.

The artwork at the Mauritshuis in The Hague was not believed to be damaged, Dutch news agency ANP reported.
