      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.
