My sister and I visited the Detroit Institute of Arts (one of the countries best art museums, btw) a few years ago. We were in the Modern Art wing. We had been walking for hours and my sister (who is not a modern art fan) sat down on a large stone bench-shaped sculpture.

A guard approached her and said, "Please don't sit on the artwork."

My sister looked around and replied, "I wouldn't if I saw any."

Ever been to the Hirshorn gallery in DC?
Talk about strange and "fugly" artwork.
One "art" display they had when I visited consisted of a big, dark room and the ONLY thing in the room was a large projection television which kept looping a video of an elephant sitting down, then lying on its side, then rolling over and getting back up.
