Музеи со всего мира щеголяют самыми лучшими ягодицами в своих коллекциях
Пока через карантин еще не все музеи открылись для посетителей, кураторы развлекаются, как могут. Например, запускают челендж в соцсетях, чтобы похвастаться лучшими попами в своих коллекциях.
Флешмоб запустил Йоркширский музей, опубликовав мраморную статую римского атлета с отсутствующим куском на попе. Идею подхватили по всему миру. В челлендж присоединились даже зоологические музеи.
В комментарии представитель Йоркширского музея объяснил, что идея запускать такого рода флешмоб – это возможность организовать своеобразную онлайн-выставку, на создание которой в реальности могло бы уйти несколько лет.
В общем, полюбуйтесь лучшими музейными ягодицами 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— M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art (@CiurlionisMus) July 1, 2020
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

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
