#1

Two Twitter pranksters, TJCruda and Khayatan, decided to drop a pair of glasses on the floor while at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to see if anyone would actually mistake them for modern art. And yes, they did.

#2 Within seconds of putting the glasses down and walking away, a group of people gathered around the glasses and started taking photos.

#3 Unsurprisingly, their tweet about the whole situation has received some 46,000 retweets.

#4 Other Twitter users expressed their love for the prank

Khayatan told BuzzFeed that while he and his friends enjoyed the museum, some pieces were underwhelming. So he wanted to see just what people would consider 'art.'

"Upon first arrival we were quite impressed with the artwork and paintings presented in the huge facility," he said. "However, some of the ‘art' wasn't very surprising to some of us."

He said one example in particular puzzled them.

"We stumbled upon a stuffed animal on a gray blanket and questioned if this was really impressive to some of the nearby people," he said.

"I can agree that modern art can be a joke sometimes, but art is a way to express our own creativity," he said. "Some may interpret it as a joke, some might find great spiritual meaning in it. At the end of the day, I see it as a pleasure for open-minded people and imaginative minds."
