A group of pranksters managed to trick more than a dozen art lovers into thinking that a cheap print from IKEA was a valuable work of modern art . Dutch YouTube jokers lifehunterstv took a £7 ( 10 euro ) print and placed it in an art museum in Arnhem , and asked visitors what they thought of the 'painting ' and how much it could be worth .

Funny guys : A group of Dutch YouTube jokers took a £7 print from IKEA and placed it in the Museum for Modern Art in Arnhem . The team from lifehunterstv placed the cheap canvas on display in the Museum for Modern Art in Arnhem , and asked art lovers for an appraisal . They told visitors the painting was done by famous Swedish artist 'IKE Andrews ' , and , according to the pranksters , all of the nearly 20 people interviewed bought the lie . The video shows presenter Boris Lange talking about the painting to a number of visitors , who call the cheap print 'modern ' and 'shocking ' . One man praises the print for its 'constructiveness of things on top of each other , inside each other ' . Another visitor , a man in a flatcap , beard and glasses , claims he can 'clearly see that it concerns a form of symbolism ' , adding that the artist has a 'beautiful spirit ' . Joke : Presenter Boris Lange told visitors the 'painting ' was done by famous Swedish artist 'IKE Andrews ' and say everyone of the nearly 20 people interviewed bought the lie . A man in a flatcap , beard and glasses , claims he can 'clearly see that it concerns a form of symbolism ' When asked how much they believe the artwork to be worth , one guesses 'over 1,000 euro ' , while another says : 'If you could buy this for 2.5million euros , I 'd do it . ' 'The whole day everyone thought our `` painting '' amazing , ' the team behind the prank says . 'When the people talked about that this image is a symbol of the painters spirit , and that it could be worth a 200,000 euros or even 2.5million euros it made us laugh inside ! ' When the pranksters told the art fans about their IKEA hoax , a majority saw the funny side , but , lifehunterstv reveals , not all were pleased about being duped . 'The last two guys could n't even say one word as a reaction and just walked away with red cheeks . We could feel the awkwardness ' . Taking it well : When the pranksters told the art fans about their IKEA hoax , a majority saw the funny side . Hit a nerve ? Two men who had praised the painting were so offended when told that it was a cheap IKEA print that they left without a word . This comes just days after IKEA customers in the Netherlands were stopped from organising a mass-game of hide and seek . A whopping 19,000 people signed up to a Facebook group promoting a game at IKEA 's Amsterdam branch next month , and another 13,000 signed up for a game in the Ikea store in the city of Utrecht . But the Swedish retail giant has bad news for folks wanting to hide among its room-like furniture displays : The numbers signing up are getting out of hand and the events have been blocked . 'We have contacted these pages on social media and humbly asked them to have their hide and seek games somewhere else , ' IKEA spokeswoman Martina Smedberg said Tuesday . Ms Smedberg added that IKEA does not want to be a spoilsport , but safety comes first .
