This week on Spill the Art Tea, actor Rónán P. Byrne joins us to unpack the wildest headlines in the art world—from the Gen Z print-buying boom to a spontaneous Louvre strike, a smashed €100k crystal chair, and a LEGO forgery ring copying Ai Weiwei’s work. We also dive into France’s decision to hike museum prices for non-EU visitors—and wonder: who really gets access to culture in 2025?
