Lifehunterstv told the museum visitors this painting was by “famous Swedish artist IKE Andrews.”From an artist who can put all his "emotions in the painting" to it being worth "more than 2.5 million euros," the comments just keep getting better and better.Most of the pranked visitors had a good laugh once it was revealed that that paining was actually from Ikea. Sadly one duo made a swift, displeased exit.Watch the prank unfold here:
