For the artist, the cans symbolise cherished memories shared with dear friends. LAM Museum

When was the last time you visited an art gallery or museum?

A lift technician accidentally binned a piece of artwork this week.

EARLIER IN THE week, a member of a staff in a Dutch museum threw a piece of artwork in the bin after mistakenly believing it was rubbish.

At first glance, the work appears to be two discarded and dented beer cans which had been left behind in a glass lift.

However, the piece, titled “All The Good Times We Spent Together” has in fact been meticulously hand painted with acrylics by French artist Alexandre Lavet.

The LAM museum is renowned for showcasing it’s art collection in unconventional locations, and it has since been able to retrieve the artwork, adding that they bear “no ill will towards the lift technician who made the mistake.” 

Whether you’re a modern art fan or not, we want to know when was the last time you visited an art gallery or museum.

So today we’re asking: When was the last time you visited an art gallery or museum?

    I guess that it will be the usual stitch up for the top EU jobs . Competence is not a requirement . If Von Der Leyen is the best that the EU can do then I am afraid that we are royally f****d .

    @Pat Hazzard: The shame.

    So you are saying that the racist colonists is the “democracy”.
    That those committing the crimes that brought all the suffering to the region are the “democracy”.

    While those defending from these atrocities are not.

    The shame.

    The share this “democracy” brings to democracy.

    Investigators from the European Public Prosecution’s Office ( EPPO) in recent months have been investigating her over interference in public functions, destruction of SMS, corruption & conflict of interest. In other word’s a crook!

    The Journal’s usual masceration of the language. The singular of the verb “to be” is “is”. Hence, the sentence should be “Fine Gael is …” Where do these people learn to write?

    Will be replaced by another EPP clown with open borders, taxes, green agenda and war business. Probably in favour of getting corrupted countries in Europe and also Ukraine. What can go wrong.
