This reminds me of a news story I read a while back about a museum that was going to hold a temporary display of a number of Salvador Dali's works of art. The works were on display for about 3 weeks but then it was discovered that every single one was a forgery. Obviously embarrassing for the museum. Apparently nobody inspects the Spanish exposition.

Is this real or just a set up for that joke?

Setup, but the fact that it's believable until the punchline and can be worked into casual conversation is, in my opinion, what makes it a good joke. :P
