A pineapple jokingly placed on a table in an art exhibition has been put inside a glass display case by curators.

Robert Gordon University (RGU) student Ruairi Gray abandoned the piece of fruit at the Look Again exhibition as a prank.

When he returned to the building a few days later on Monday, May 1, he found a glass case had been placed around the pineapple and it had been kept among the artworks.

Many took to social media to share their opinion on this unusual mishap.

Jean Gibilaro said: "That's too funny!"

David Girling added: "Sums up a lot of modern'art'."

Susan Smith said: "Utter nonsense."
