They are attacking museums that have nothing to do with climate change, instrumentally damaging them for publicity.
I can think of all sorts of ways to do more of this. Protest meat by disrupting homeless shelters. Or protest racism by attacking the Red Cross. Do you believe those are ethically defensible actions?
I think we both know the reason museums are targets is that they know most museum employees are sympathetic to the cause and unlikely to get violent. Try the same stunt in a refinery and I don't think you'll glue your hand to the wall twice.
It is opportunistic and shitty, and I also believe counterproductive.

What I hear is, "I'm a selfish, naive attention seeker who needs a decent spell in jail to think about my choices."
