Banksy

A British graffiti artist who goes by the name “Banksy” went one step further, by smuggling in his own picture of a soup can and hanging it on a wall, where it stayed for more than three days earlier this month before anybody noticed. The prank was part of a coordinated plan to infiltrate four of New York’s top museums on a single day. It even made the front page of the Gray Lady. These are the museums that got inflitrated:

1. Brooklyn Museum
2. Metropolitan Museum of Art

3. American Museum of Natural History

4. Museum of Modern Art
