Museums and art galleries can become an overwhelming experience for the casual visitor. Luckily, some people untangle centuries-old ideas and dumb-down them into language us mortals can understand, too. Previously, we covered museum museum snapchats; now it's time for something else - an array of hilarious art memes. After diving into this list, you might just feel as a highbrow art critic yourself.

Though memes and classical art is not a combination that we are used to seeing, some of the museums and galleries have recently allowed their visitors to take pictures and publish them in their social media profiles, thus making the art more accessible and visible to an ordinary human being. While Da Vinci might not have planned for his work to turn into a classical art meme, this way his and other classical artists work becomes more relatable to us.

Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest classical art memes that are impossible not to laugh at, and they will please your inner snob. From explaining what girls are up to when they go to the bathroom to proving some hustlers tried to sell Jesus merchandise at the crucifixion, these art history memes prove that nothing has changed in hundreds of years. Scroll down to check out how the hilarious list and vote for your favorite entries.

Actually had that happen to me 25 yrs. ago. I thought I was in a drama class, but it turned out to be International Law. I guess I forgot to read the numbers above the classroom doors.

You'd be surprised, but when I was a kid, we actually did try to get some spirits to "show up" when we went to the bathroom in a group :D

Anything my dog picks up turns into a weird game show. If I get the "thing" out of his mouth I win a "no puking after bed time" coupon.

In a nice hotel, that allowed us to have our dog with us for only a 10 dollar fee, left some treats for us. I picked up a small brownie, and dropped it! The dog went for it, gobbled it up and I’m pretty sure, swallowed it whole! All I could think of was, lots of poo and vomit that night for a sick dog and unknown vet fees! We were worried sick! So when we went to dinner, and left him in the room, we got back and he was fine! Whew! Then, looked up the chocolate chart based on a dogs weight, and it tells you how much will or won’t make your dog sick or kill him. He didn’t eat enough to be sick over! Now? No more chocolate for him!

Chocolate doesn't poison dogs/cats. Noir in the way we think of as poison. What it does is cause severe diarrhea, which perverts the animal from getting any nutrition from what they eat/drink because it literally goes right through them. If they aren't treated, they will die of dehydration/ malnutrition within a week.

Yup, that is me whenever I see them eating something that they randomly grab on a walk.

Better off going to the local animal shelter and getting another dog. Yeah, chocolate can poison a dog, but losing your hands and life just ain't worth saving any dog.

If you've nurtured and loved your dog from a puppy, or even rescued and put everything into showing them that they are loved and cared for with everything you have and turned their life around, showing them not every human is filled with hate and abuse. the chances of them ripping your hand off and letting you bleed to death are about a million to one!

I normally grit and bare my teeth and close my eyes, resulting in a painful grimace as though I had stepped on my corgi's rawhide half-eaten bone.

This looks very much like she's trying to get away from being raped. Very strange thing to paint.

That's an interesting canvas...If someone knows about it, please tell us what the hell it is and what kind of drugs the painter used. This is too weird for me to understand without more informations
