Sort of sad. This sounds like something I would do, not knowing there would be such consequences. Although maybe I wouldn't drill holes into the wall.

Yeah, but his job was to drill holes in the walls to install artworks all the time, so I imagine it wouldn't be a big deal to him (and likewise, wouldn't be a big deal for him to deinstall and refill the holes, as that was also his job).

I think firing him is a bit much. A museum should encourage the artistic abilities of its staff
