CNN —A lift technician at a museum in the Netherlands mistakenly threw away a piece of artwork made to look like two empty beer cans.
“Our art encourages visitors to see everyday objects in a new light.
“He was just doing his job in good faith”, said van Zanten.
They were cleaned and then displayed on a traditional plinth at the museum entrance, according to the statement.
Last year, an artwork consisting of a banana duct-taped to a wall was eaten by a hungry visitor to a gallery in Seoul, South Korea.
