There were angry scenes at the Museum of Miniature Found Objects last night. Crowds had been gathering all day outside the museum in response to rumours that have been circulating in the past week. These rumours claim that the museum has forgeries on display, and name the Etruscan Lounge specifically. Tempers flared when the police were called, and there were a number of arrests after fist fights broke out between museum curators and members of the public. This scene, just before fighting broke out, was caught on camera by an onlooker. The crowd was finally dispersed in the early hours of the morning after a spokeswoman from the museum announced that the Serious Fraud Office will be conducting a full investigation into these allegations.
