Dutch Museum Recovers Mistakenly Disposed Art

A piece of art titled 'All The Good Times We Spent Together' by French artist Alexandre Lavet, consisting of two hand-painted beer cans, was mistakenly thrown away by a new employee at the LAM Museum in Lisse, Netherlands. The cans, which were on display in a glass elevator to appear as if left behind by construction workers, were retrieved by curator Elisah van den Bergh just before being permanently disposed of. The museum's director, Sietske van Zanten, stated the goal is to present art in unexpected places to encourage viewers to see everyday objects differently. The incident, while initially a blunder, was seen as a testament to the realism and effectiveness of Lavet's artwork. There were no repercussions for the employee, as museum officials acknowledged he was doing his job in good faith. The artwork is now temporarily displayed on a traditional plinth but may be moved to another unconventional location soon.
