Why have people spread peanut butter on the floor at a museum?

For the latest recreation two museum employees spent several days spreading 40 buckets of peanut butter across a 25-square-metre hexagon shape.

The pair used plastering trowels to apply the peanut butter to a thickness of 2 cm.

The museum is also exhibiting the most recent instructions for the piece written by the artist, so the work could be recreated.

According to Wim T. Schippers, 15.6 kg of smooth peanut butter (not chunky) per m2 should be used, no one should stand or lie on the peanut butter floor and the peanut butter should be applied as smoothly as possible.

This is definitely not one to try at home!
