You know you’re going to have some serious, down-right fun on your hands when a  YouTube channel lifehunterstv took a print from Ikea worth 10 euros and displayed it at Museum Arnhem in the Netherlands to see if they could trick some serious art connoisseurs and critics by asking their opinion on the so called “masterpiece.”

The many art lovers studied the painting before offering their expert opinions on the “symbolism” behind the painting and the “chaos” in the mind of the painters. Lifehunterstv told the museum visitors this painting was by “famous Swedish artist IKE Andrews.”

From an artist who can put all his “emotions in the painting” to it being worth “more than 2.5 million euros,” the comments just keep getting better and better.

Most of the pranked visitors had a good laugh once it was revealed that that paining was actually from Ikea. Sadly one duo made a swift, displeased exit.
