|description_of_content=Jérôme Galvin was commissioned to create a site-specific mural for the reopening of a ceramic museum on June 27, 2014. The mural spanned 5 meters, the length of an entire wall. Galvin said the pieces were, "[an] inspiration from this historic genre, grotesque and burlesque, rich and well known…I portrayed, in a more contemporary manner, small figures, some of them nude, in ridiculous positions. One was a urinating aristocrat." | |description_of_content=Jérôme Galvin was commissioned to create a site-specific mural for the reopening of a ceramic museum on June 27, 2014.

|description_of_incident= | |description_of_incident=Artist Jérôme Galvin had reached an initial compromise with the previous mayor's office, agreeing to put fig leaves on six of the contested images. | ||
When the newly elected mayor, Patricia Burn saw the images she called them "insanities, vices, and pornography." | |||
|description_of_result=Mayor Patricia Brun had drywall installed over the mural, completely covering the artwork before the museum opening. | |||
