OTTAWA – New documents show the CEO of the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa warned other national gallery leaders after a climate protester threw paint on one of its exhibits, which says it cost $7,500 to remove.

The incident took place back in February, when an activist with Last Generation Canada sprayed water-based pink paint onto a replica dinosaur skeleton in its fossil gallery.
