The Royal Academy of Fine Arts was full of rats and so was the Museum of Modern Art in Sweden 1966 and 1975 and I am totally sure the same situation apply 2006.

Picture Left: Detail of Ture Sjolanders 1965 painting aquired by the Moderna Museet Stockholm 1966. (Pontus Hulten) (Detail of painting and Ture Sjolander below)
2004 Moderna Museet report's that the painting is destroyed.
As far as one can understand purposedly destroyed by the "Museum".
The Museum was offered the pioneering art work TIME (below) as a donation from a
private collector 2004 as a replacement of the badly stored and destroyed painting from 1966. Moderna Museet did not want to recieve the donation and decided to remain silent.
... and a restoration of the detroyed painting is not even mentioned!
... and today March 17 - 2004 the Museum of Modern Art//MODERNA MUSEET is reporting that the Painting is in a mint condition This page was last updated: June 15, 2015
SilkScreen print on canvas - 166,5 x 148.5 cm - with a projector with 80 dia-slides and a metal coin picturing Ture Sjolander, to start the projection on the canvas. The income from the coin should go as charity to the blind people.
Never implemented by the Museum.
The first agreement between Ture Sjolander and Pontus Hulten was that the painting should be displayed out dooras a flag on the museum as Sjolander opposed indoors "exhibition" Hulten liked the concept but after his investigation it was shown that the land owner for the museum protested as it was at military land/the Marines, and only national flags or military flags by law was permitted on the ground.
Finally Ture Sjolander did agree to take the painting indoors under the condition that the coin and the machine was made/produced by the museum and that the income from the picture machine should go to the blind people in Sweden.
The coin should be purshased together with the entrence fee by visitors. Thereof the title of the painting/installtions.

"Att sälja macklingar till vardagsrummen har ingenting med konst att göra, det är bara simpelt horeri för en korkad publik som rår över massmedia med auktionsverkens, galleriernas och museernas korrumperade synsätt " - Ture Sjölander -08.
