Cleaners at a museum of modern art in northern Italy accidentally threw away an installation after mistaking it for actual trash.
The installation by Milanese artists Goldschmied and Chiari called, "Where are we going to dance tonight?," was the recreation of a party scene that included empty champagne bottles and confetti scattered on the floor. The work was intended to reflect the lavish lifestyle of Italian political class in the 1980s and was only visible after the museum had closed.
Understandably, the cleaners thought that the party aftermath was from a real event and bagged it up as garbage. The museum shared images on its Facebook of the now empty space with a single black trash bag.
The museum says that it will be reinstated as soon as possible.
