Why does New York Citys Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum suddenly have 33,000 one-star reviews on Facebook ? And perhaps more importantly, who would use Facebook to evaluate the quality of a beloved decades-old art institution?

The answer to the first question, at least is, in short: President Donald Trump .

This tale of too many bad reviews begins in September, when Trumps White House reached out to the renowned repository of modern and contemporary art with the hope of borrowing a piece from the Guggenheims collection Vincent van Goghs 1888 Landscape With Snow, for the personal living quarters of the president and Melania Trump .

Nancy Spector, the museums chief curator, declined the request, offering in the paintings stead a 2016 sculpture called America by Italian art prankster Maurizio Cattelan. Although it sounds MAGA-approved, America is actually a fully functioning, solid gold toilet.

The White House did not respond to Spectors suggested consolation prize.

A summation of the White House vs. Guggenheim exchange was published last week courtesy of The Washington Post. Predictably, the internet was riled by the savage (and art-history savvy) burn deliciously served by a typically buttoned-up institution. The toilet, which Catellan himself described as 1 percent art for the 99 percent , not so subtly mirrors a key Trumpian duality: opulence and vulgarity. On Twitter, references to golden showers and s**tholes flowed aplenty, while art critics offered their number 2 cents on the deeper ramifications of the work.

There was, equally unsurprisingly, a heavy stream of backlash from Trump supporters who deemed Spectors offer disrespectful. Fox Business host Stuart Varney demanded Spector apologize and resign in the wake of her act of extreme disrespect.

An army of amateur art critics soon flooded social media, from Facebook to Yelp, with their grievances. One particularly pissed off Yelper gave the museum a one-star review , the same paltry rating he bestowed upon a Connecticut Cheesecake Factory and the Art Lounge at Newark airport, commenting, This POS institution thinks its funny to offer our president a toilet. GFY Guggenheim.

Others condemned the museums decision to get political.

On Friday, Yelp began actively monitoring and cleaning up the Guggenheims page, removing reviews not based on firsthand experiences. In an email to HuffPost, a Yelp spokesperson explained that it is standard practice to keep a close eye on institutions having a major media moment, and to weed out reviews that violate Yelps Terms of Service .
