An understandable mistake.
Graffiti artwork on display in South Korea has been damaged by a couple who thought brushes and paint laid in front of the piece were for visitors' use.
"They thought they were allowed to do that as participatory art and made a mistake," the head of the exhibition in Seoul told Reuters news agency.
After staff spotted fresh brushstrokes CCTV footage identified the accidental vandals, a man and woman in their 20s. The untitled piece is estimated to be worth about $500,000 (£360,000). It was painted by US graffiti artist JonOne in front of an audience in Seoul in 2016.
