Hanging Corpse Admired as Sculpture on Campus

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Police on Friday removed the corpse of a man believed to have hanged himself at least a year ago after builders and students at Budapest's University of Arts had initially mistaken it for a modern sculpture.
The body hung for a whole day in a garden building that had been re-opened for repairs before onlookers realized what it was and called the police, local media said.

The building, in campus grounds crowded with different types of sculpture, had been closed five years ago pending reconstruction work.

That about sums up what I think of a lot of "art."

I hope there's no artists here.

Gross. Like mrschad said, I can't believe that nobody smelled it.

Hmmm...think he would have been a bit ripe. Maybe it always smell like that in Budapest.
