Let a museum smash up your art

Paris's renowned Centre Georges Pompidou -- one of the world's premiere contemporary and modern art destinations -- saw three works of art in a recent show fall from its walls. Two were smashed to bits, and a third damaged.

The museum has a great excuse for this. According to the LA Times:

"It's not our guilt," Catherine Grenier, who curated the show for the Pompidou, said from her Paris home. "For me, it's not a coincidence. These two works were made of the same materials, and made in the same period. And both were incredibly fragile."

Well naturally. A museum can't be expected to make sure fragile items don't fall off the walls. It must be the fault of the artists!
