Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, unboxed what were meant to be two reproductions of works by Jens Haaning.
Jens has previously created works that depicted the average annual salaries of an Austrian, using Euros, and a Dane, using Danish krone and framing the cash.
The museum was looking to add these two Jens pieces, which would have contained over R1.27-million worth of banknotes within their frames, to their exhibition on the future of labour.
