Artist sneaks his work into New York museums

'It was not nearly as dangerous as the time he sneaked into the elephant pen at the London Zoo and scrawled a graffiti message from the point of view of an elephant: "I want out. This place is too cold. Keeper smells. Boring, boring, boring." And it was not quite as elaborate as the stunt in which he spirited a stuffed rat wearing wraparound sunglasses into London's Natural History Museum and mounted it on a wall. But over the last two weeks, a British artist who calls himself Banksy has carried his own humorous artworks into the Museum of Modern Art, the Met, the Brooklyn Museum and the Museum of Natural History - and attached them to the walls, alongside other paintings and exhibits. Similar stunts at the Louvre and the Tate museum have earned the artist a following in Europe, where he has had successful gallery shows and sold thousands of books of his artwork. But his graffiti has also landed him in legal trouble.' Read full story here and see his work here.
