British Museum; fake plate smuggled in by prankster

The British Museum boasts "a collection of art and antiquities from ancient and living cultures". But curators aren't boasting about one recent exhibit. Smuggled in by a 15 year old prankster, the painted plate showed a Greek God... wearing a pair of Nike trainers. He says staff didn't notice it... the museum says they did.
