Propaganda pieces like this keep popping up all over. Can we put the proverbial nail in the coffin on the prefecture already! Fukushima is a dead prefecture and will be for decades. Why schools and museums are remaining open there is beyond insanity.

Museum officials are now removing a contaminated lawn as part of their efforts to reduce levels of radioactivity ahead of the exhibition, he added.

YAY! A radiation-reduced area to look at rare pieces of art. For a fee, I suspect.

But where will they dump the the contaminated lawn, and where are they getting the replacement?
