This is the third such instance in the recent past. Canned tomato on van Gogh, mashed potato on Monet, and now this. I tend to think none of the multi-million paintings are displayed as originals. I don't know anyone who has worked at a museum, but I'm guessing they are all replicas behind glass.

Why would they put a replica behind glass?

That's a pretty uninformed thing to say.

Fifth such instance.
