A DIY hammer-and-nail shortcut into 4 NYC museums
 Need to know a shortcut to getting into the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Natural History and Brooklyn Museum? If you have the chutzpah of British artist Banksy, you could get your art on the walls fast. The Wooster Collective has the details:
Dressed as a British pensioner, over the last few days Banksy entered each of the galleries and attached one of his own works, complete with authorative name plaque and explanation. ...
Staff at the New York Met discovered and removed their new aquisition early Sunday morning while Banksy's discount soup can print took pride of place in the MoMA for over three days before being torn down.
As of now, the other two pieces currently remain firmly in place... Banksy's web site lists his current exhibitions at the Met, MoMA, Natural History Museum and in Brooklyn.
More coverage at Gothamist, CityRag, Gridskipper and Kottke.
