This is definitely scaffolding erected to facilitate repairs. Of all use cases for advertising, I cannot possibly complain about this one as it seems to be funding the repairs and the ugly scaffolding is being camouflaged by the dressing that mimics the underlying surface. Yeah, its always gonna suck to a certain degree to see ads plastered on a landmark like this, but if it's only temporary during repairs and helps maintain the building then I'm all for it.

Ask why a historical monument has to rely on advertising dollars to be repaired. Why the kinds of organisations that would put a garish ad billboard over the top are the ones with all the power in our society.

Just because the billboard is funding repairs doesn't mean it's good. It's emblematic of how much is being hoarded by capitalists.
