Thinking they could dupe the visitors into thinking anything was a valuable museum piece, Khayatan and his friends placed the 17-year-old's spectacles on the floor by a blank wall.

"LMAO WE PUT GLASSES ON THE FLOOR AT AN ART GALLERY AND..." the teen wrote with the several photos he posted.
Museum officials eventually got wind of the joke and, instead of being angry, they complimented Khayatan.
"Do we have a Marcel Duchamp in our midst," the museum replied to Khayatan's post, referencing the famous French conceptual artist.
