They didn't damage it. They did throw soup at it.
Their tactic is also working. You're aware of the event, who they are, what they stand for, and why they did it.

What they're doing is fundamentally harmless. You do realize that these paintings are behind glass, yeah? It's not like they're throwing soup directly onto canvases. They're damaging museum glass at worst. The dollar amount of the damage is relatively minor, the whole point is civil disobedience and to draw media attention.
