"German Museum Employee Fired for Secretly Displaying Personal Artwork"

A technician at the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, who also worked as a freelance artist, secretly hung up one of his own paintings in the museum in hopes of gaining artistic recognition, but was caught and subsequently fired. The man now faces investigation for property damage after drilling holes into the wall to display his artwork. This incident echoes a similar case in Germany where another artist successfully smuggled her painting into an exhibition and received praise for it.
