Artist Sets Off Alarms at Warhol Museum While Studying Paintings Up Close

Graphic artist Juraj Behún triggered security alarms at the Andy Warhol Museum of Modern Art in Medzilabor while examining the works closely. The artist, who describes Andy Warhol as his passion, was studying the paintings in detail when the museum's security system activated. The Andy Warhol Museum in Medzilabor, located in northeastern Slovakia near Warhol's ancestral village, houses the world's second-largest collection of the pop art icon's works after the museum in Pittsburgh. The incident highlights the museum's strict security measures protecting the valuable artworks of the Slovak-American artist, whose parents emigrated from the region to the United States in the early 20th century.
