The work exhibited at the museum was thrown into the trash by an employee's mistake.

According to foreign media such as The Guardian and the BBC, the work of French artist Alexandre Lavet 'All The Good Times We Spent Together' that was installed at the LAM Museum in the Netherlands has disappeared.

Surprised Museum Curator Goes Around To Search For Works Found this in the trash can in the corner.

It turned out that the employees who were repairing the elevator at the time were mistaken for garbage.

It could have been misunderstood because the piece actually looks like two crushed beer cans.

Maintenance workers said they thought it was a can that visitors drank and threw away.

An art museum official explained that `It looks like beer can trash, but if you look closely, you can see that it was carefully painted with acrylic paint.'

Fortunately, the museum was in good condition, so the museum was washed clean and put back in place.

The museum said "The purpose is to allow visitors to see everyday objects from a new perspective" and "Exhibiting artworks in unexpected places will amplify this experience and increase the interest of visitors"
