    Following an inundation of inquiries on how to purchase the pubic display following the publication of this article, Wynd says he has decided to donate them to Littledean Jail, the crime museum in the Forest of Dean.

    Apparently they do have monetary value, but I assume the reason they were not sold is ethics

    It was on the life-sized T-Rex statue. He broke in one night and they found him going to town on the T-Rex. The cleaning crew just hasn't gotten around to washing it properly.

    At what point did the museum think that it was an appropriate or sensible item to have on display?

    The rest of the quote:

    “I took them straight off display and have no desire to hear his name again – he has no place in my museum of horrors,” Wynd told Variety on Wednesday afternoon. “My museum is full of disgusting things but even I have limits.”

    Wouldn't they be an even better fit for a museum of horrors now?

    There’s a Crime Museum (formerly known as the “Black Museum”) at New Scotland Yard, housing infamous murder weapons and the like. Such an exhibit may be appropriate there, if anywhere.

    Viktor Wynd, the eccentric collector behind the Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art & UnNatural History in Hackney, confirmed that he removed the unusual artifact from his collection in the wake of Brand’s legal troubles.

    “I took them straight off display and have no desire to hear his name again – he has no place in my museum of horrors,” Wynd told Variety on Wednesday afternoon. “My museum is full of disgusting things but even I have limits.”

    Seems like this piece was fishing for the exact reaction it got. Kind of just a reheated Piss Christ if I'm being critical but it's certainly art.

    Why didn't they try to do black magic with it? Etsy witches could use some practice.

    Disingenuous headlines suck. I'm finding I'm not even clicking on the good ones anymore due to my cynicism and the feel that good journalism has died and been replaced by "clicks for hate".

    So, that's a museum I don't need to visit. I'm quickly bored by art museums, though I respect them. I love history museums. This? Wtf.

    Bah, the world would be a boring and stupider place if people only pursued easy and obvious art. This guy has the courage to try something weird but also the humility to acknowledge when it stops working and kill a particular piece. I wish Harry Potter fans had the same sense of responsibility.

    For a second there I thought this museum had no class. I stand corrected.

    Obviously not since he had "Russell Brand’s pubic hair" on display.
