Same Gallery

In this picture taken on July 9, 2020, visitors look at the artworks in Same gallery during the opening ceremony of a stealable art exhibition in Tokyo, hours before the gallery let people pounce on the artworks. - The Tokyo art exhibit opened to enthusiastic visitors, but many of those circulating weren't just there to soak in some culture -- they were casing the joint for a midnight raid. Hours after the gallery closed for the night, a crowd had gathered ready to pounce on the artworks. The police station was nearby, but officers only intervened for crowd control, because all the pieces at the Stealable Art Exhibition were up for grabs.
