Prankster infiltrates NY museums
I didn't see this anywhere....

Snip

A British graffiti artist has managed to evade security and hang his work in four of New York's most prestigious and well-guarded museums.

"Banksy", who has never disclosed his real identity, claims to have carried out the unusual smuggling operation on one day, during opening hours.

Some of the pieces went undetected for several days - such as a beetle with missiles attached to its body.

1. Ha!
You know, there is a part of me that understands why the museums get upset at what this man does, but I just love hearing this story :-) Wish I'd thought of it first!
