    “All I can say is that we did not receive any positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery,”

    Not a strong debut and I understand why museum did this but they’re pursuing charges fir drilling 2 holes in a wall? The corporate mentality for an art institution is so cringe.

      Most likely they couldn’t figure out anything else to charge him hence the “drilling the wall” thing.

      I’m sure it has a lot more to do with discouraging others from giving it a go.
