Brit Hangs His Art in MOMA

A British prankster has surreptitiously hung his own humorous artwork, some of them carrying an anti-war message, in four major New York museums over the last two weeks. The man, who calls himself "Banksy" has pulled similar stunts at the Louvre in Paris and the Tate museum in London. Over the last two weeks, his artwork has been found and removed from the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and the American Museum of Natural History. "My sister inspired me to do it. She was throwing away loads of my pictures one day and I asked her why. She said "It's not like they're going to be hanging in the Louvre.'
