Many museums are in fact showing fakes. Seems that people don't care as long as they know there's only one official version of it hanging somewhere, even if that's not the original. I think that's analogous to owning the one NFT that was officially minted by the work's creator, even when there's infinite digital copies of the work possible.

- Philip-J-Fry 5y agoI wouldn't say that people don't care because they know there's only one official version of it hanging somewhere. I think it's more so that people don't know that they're looking at a fake. I would be surprised if you told someone that the painting they're looking at is fake and they're response is "oh I don't care". I'm sure they'd be at least a bit disappointed.
