[ WP ] In magic , a sigil is a symbolic graphic representation of a wish , like a drawing . When destroyed properly , the wish comes true . Turns out , many masterpieces of art are actually sigils meant to trigger something as big as their artistic value .

What do you think of when you see a museum? Quiet reverence to past artists? Thought provoking paintings and sculptures? A boring walk through a large building? What ever your idea of a museum may be, I am here to tell you it is wrong. There is a reason all of this invaluable `` art'' is contained in under high security. 
 
 Everyone knows the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci, the painting of a woman giving a slight smile, but the public does not know its true purpose. `` When destroyed by flame, every female within one thousand kilometers shall become a frigid hag, forever.'' - Leonardo da Vinci. That message is inscribed in Latin on the inside of the frame. Just think of the outcome if this fell into the wrong hands. 
 
 The Scream, by Edvard Munch, is a bright flowing portrait of someone holding their face in terror. It can also bring on a terrible melting apocalypse if it is submerged in water. Our top scientists are not exactly sure what Edvard meant by `` melting'' but we can all safely assume no one wants to find out. 
 
 It is not only paintings that can cause havoc either. The oldest Stradivari violin, made in 1666, can control minds if it is played hard enough to break a string. If it is destroyed entirely it makes anyone who has ever heard it into a mindless slave. Thankfully the foundation keeps it under lock and key. 
 
 These are just a few of the reasons these artifacts are held away from the public. Time and effort make anything powerful, only the intention dictates the outcome. This is also why it is important not to let anyone destroy `` art'' as they could also destroy the world.
