RM appears to be on a tour of US art museums; he’s also popped in at the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and Dia: Beacon, in New York.

The National Gallery apparently found out about RM’s visit from his Instagram post. It later shared photos from his visit and suggested—what else—Antoine Vollon’s Mound of Butter might make a good spot on an NGA tour.
