Prankster infiltrates NY museums
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.
Some of the pieces went undetected for several days - such as a beetle with missiles attached to its body.
Banksy raided the Metropolitan Museum, but decided to spare the Guggenheim. "I would have had to appear between two Picassos," he said. "And I'm not good enough to get away with that."
Banksy has staged similar stunts in the past, managing to smuggle some works into Britain's Tate Gallery and the Louvre in France. He told Reuters news agency he had been inspired to do so by his sister, who once threw away several of his pictures saying they would never hang in the world-renowned Paris museum.
