Sculpture art is often seen as very serious, grand, and glorious, especially when depicting some war general or famous person. That seriousness almost always obligates us to stand graciously and composed in front of every famous sculpture. Now, if anyone tells you that posing for pictures near a statue is dull because of the need to keep your manners, it's only because they don't know how to do proper photo poses. The beautiful sculptures are alive, and you only need to turn on your imagination to see that. To illustrate what we mean, we have collected this list of funny photos showing how creative people can be while having fun. The sculptures are taking selfies, shaving their armpits, and even beating the poor tourists. Do you have a photo like that? Be sure to upload it below and vote for your favorites!

The girl you wanted got the arrow, now if you don't take her to the altar you'll be getting something!
There's quite a story to this. The statue is in Niigata City, Japan, and celebrates the character Taro Yamada from popular manga comic "Dokaben" created by Niigata native artist Shinji Mizushima. The fad of doing these photos was started by Shinya Nishimura, creative director of the free newspaper Okinawa Bishojo Zukan. Called "Ketsu Bat Girls", its name translates out in English to “Butt Bat Girls.” http://en.rocketnews24.com/2015/03/06/butt-bat-girl-japans-latest-trick-photography-craze-that-combines-sports-anime-with-slapstick/
Oh sure, this is a very cute sculpture. But, originally there was only 2 child statues. Pretty soon there will be 6 ! ! !
Maybe you should write a story about that, sounds like a good horror.
Load More Replies...She also could have filled the gap by laying her hands on the shoulders of the child behind her and then align her shoulders so that the last child would grab her shoulders...if I were the artist behind this I would have planned it like that.
Maybe she just wanted to make sure the last little one didnt get lost!

This one is just brilliant! As the sculpture has real colours I thought at first that the lady is also a tourist. :D
I know this sculpture....it's in Victoria, BC Canada. It's a dad who has come back from war and he is kneeling with his arms open to welcome his daughter who is running to greet him. I feel that girl is desecrating the beauty of this. Esp. since tomorrow is Remembrance Day......but really anytime....some things should be cherished....

WTF?!? That statue is mega creepy! And why woudl someone make a sculpture if a giant fat pigeon in the first place?
It almost seems like they made the space to encourage this. See the other toddler in another pic here.
Got to wonder if his parents set him up like this...it's cute regardless.
The woman in the statue looks like she's getting ready to hurl the child.
Sure hope he doesn't let go of her feet before his friend lets go of his…

I know this statue, too. It's in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Now this one I've always thought a little weird.....portraying old, fat white guys as those who walk out of offices in the downtown area.....isn't that racist or something?
Without the girl, what exactly is this statue doing? Kissing the air? I dont get it lol
But Officer, what happens in da hood is supposed to STAY in da hood!
People in the background walking like "This is normal for my city"
And that is how the Ronald McDonald house charities lost their 501c status
This reminds me of the evil guy in Austin Powers, the statue has the exact same shape head!
Hahaha 3 years later I'm looking through these photos and my first thought with this one is "that's Dr Evil's head!" at least I'm consistent 😂

Well um, now that I'm not the president ah any longer, I like to enjoy uh some twisted iced tea um in the park.
it's so nice that even Obama joins in the fun of posing with statues, but I'm slightly concerned about the fact that there is a sculpture of alcohol near where children and families might be playing or eating

"And you say this feeling comes over you whenever the grandchildren come to visit?"
the statue is actually pointing at his crotch... then laughing, and he's also a horse and the other one is a guy... "you call that a d**k? neeeeeiiighhh"

The first thing I thought of when seeing this picture was a mother scolding her kids. But now that I see the comments, apparently it's a race thing?
I think the statue is of a boy and his mother, rather than a boy and his sister. The lady on the right looks significantly older than him. So it looks like the blonde girl is telling them both off, which doesn't make sense.
Load More Replies...Not a picture I would have posed for, taken or posted. Common sense just says no.
I disagree with Kori. It is a picture. You can't just assign racism to something that may have been innocent.
I don't find racist this picture and was about to write the same as you, my upvote vanish one downvote.

Ir you chance places, being an afrodescendiente the one who rants Whitehead bits, nobody would believe there's Washington racism.

Twas just posing around them.. nothing much fella!!
Load More Replies...Some of them are inventive and funny. Kudos to them. When full grown adults put their weight on vulnerable parts of a statue just to get a picture, I see it as reckless and selfish.
yet all this photo hilarious, I little bit disagree with this kind of action. some statue has historical reason and it is vulnerable.
I was a bit confused at #20, because first I saw a man posing with spiderman statue and couldn't understand how that spiderman statue was being held in the air.., then oh right it was the other way around
Some seriously weird sculptures out there. Makes me instantly prefer abstract ones... O.o
