Local art lovers and guests of NYC were deprived of a chance to visit one of the most renowned Art museums of the world, and the museum thoroughly apologized for any inconvenience, saying that on September 23 it was accommodating a United Nations event.

People were coming up excited, but after a short while had to turn away and leave, no wiser than before.

Here is a photo collection of the bewildered, disappointed and blinking eyes of those surprised and bemused passers-by who came to realize they would not see Jan Vermeer’s exhibit on that day.
