Another ‘homeless man’ walks into a museum – with a sharp object (screwdriver) – and vandalizes a work of art. Just last week it happened at the Met in NYC, now it happened in the UK at the National Gallery and the victim was Thomas Gainsborough’s “Mr and Mrs William Hallett (‘The Morning Walk’)”. This is getting to be a regular occurrence and measures should be put in place to help prevent it from happening.
