The several-story-tall banner, which shows an image of Khameini along with text reading 'Supreme Leader thanks you American boys and girls!' was digitally added to video clips captured by onlookers at a contentious May 31 protest outside the museum.
Activists hung a smaller banner from the museum's facade reading 'Free Palestine - divest from genocide' during the protest, occupied its lobby, and made demands for the museum to disclose any benefactors with investments in Israel.
Two weeks after the protest, unknown vandals threw red paint at the Brooklyn Heights home of Brooklyn Museum board director Anne Pasternak, as well as hanging a sign referring to Pasternak as a 'white-supremacist Zionist.'
