This community is rapidly becoming one of my favorites. I already spent a ton of time randomly clicking through Wikipedia, this just makes it more efficient to find cool articles.

The artist they commissioned to restore the clock in 2018 apparently went rogue and started changing all sorts of stuff in the paintings. What a shitshow.

Welcome home, friend. Enjoy the backlog and feel free to contribute!

Botched art makes me smile. I had no idea they did it in Prague, too!

Lol they have 5 examples of botched restorations and they all occurred in Spain. What the hell is going on over there?
