Арт-челлендж: Музеи хвастаются лучшими попами в своих коллекциях

Пока из-за карантина еще не все музеи открылись для посетителей, кураторы развлекаются как могут. Например, запускают челлендж в соцсетях, чтобы похвастаться лучшими попами в своих коллекциях. Да-да, речь именно о задницах!

Флешмоб запустил Йоркширский музей, опубликовав мраморную статую римского атлета с недостающим куском на попе. Идею подхватили по всему миру, к челленджу подключились даже зоологические музеи. В комментарии Bored Panda представитель Йоркширского музея объяснил, что идея запускать такого рода челленджи – это возможность организовать своеобразную онлайн-выставку, на создание которой в реальности могло бы уйти несколько лет.

В общем, полюбуйтесь лучшими музейными задницами со всего мира:

IT’S TIME FOR #CURATORBATTLE!

Today’s theme is #BestMuseumBum!

This cracking Roman marble statuette depicts an athlete at the peak of fitness! It may have decorated the town house of one of Eboracum’s wealthier residents. Has someone taken a bite out of this ?

BEAT THAT! pic.twitter.com/N3A6KYz339

Throughout her life, Meila Kairiūkštytė-Balkus was interested in the topic of femininity, which is reflected in her work "Elena I". Her sculptures are naturalistic, seeking to convey real rather than idealized forms of a woman. pic.twitter.com/QJfmB9gg9z

For today’s #CURATORBATTLE (or perhaps #CURATORREBUTTAL?) theme of #BestMuseumBum, we present Hercules knocking it out of the park...

A work by the goldsmith Francesco Pomarano, this boxwood statuette was already a celebrated piece in the #sixteenthcentury.#WallaceFromHome pic.twitter.com/3LoD6JkIOa

Zeus’s bottom is always a real crowd-pleaser, too. This bronze cast of a statue of the Greek god dates back to c.470 BC, and is about 2 metres tall #CURATORBATTLE pic.twitter.com/t8TNdhwvhD

We raise your athlete and instead give you the bum of a drunken fish. Yes you heard me.

Made by Pamela Mei Yee Leung, it was part of a body of work which married animals and humans together to create mythological creatures with personalities. #BestMuseumBum #CuratorBattle pic.twitter.com/qUAa3NgGcG

Turns out we have a lot of bums and bottoms in our collections.

In the end we decided on two of our oldest so here is the approx. 3,500 year old bum of Egyptian deity Bes and this delightful Peruvian whistle pot bottom from 1350-1500. #CuratorBattle #BestMuseumBum pic.twitter.com/UlD74WedJc

Oh butt you haven't seen ours yet. We thought we'd take a crack at this week's #CURATORBATTLE with these peaches @AngleseyAbbey #BestMuseumBum. We can confirm that bottom dusting is an important part of our conservation work. pic.twitter.com/U5LZITXWPp
