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.

Well if that's ain't proof of motivation I don't know what is haha.
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.
and the last on the left is simulating to tie his sandals because is sick of running
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.
The painting is called Before, it's by William Hogarth, it's a satire, it's part of a pair, ten second painting is called After, and it pictures the guy getting dressed while the woman tries to coax him back into bed. It's all to do with "virtue" and virginity etc
What is interesting the number of folks felt compelled to suggest this is a very dark and untoward situation portrayed here without hesitation… Speaks very loudly towards the mindset and expectations of others’ behavior as a distinct and definitive bias, whether it is experiential or not. What if the roles were reversed? Goes to demonstrate the current “enlightened” era is straight rubbish gliding itself as virtuous and most righteous while exemplifying keenly that it is entirely the same as eras that came before (like the one this painting is from) only much less original, much less read, full of self-righteousness, blind vitriol, and completely unproductive. For those who went hard on the presumed assault bent: Could it be your “modern” interpretation is not contextually aligned with the intent of the painting and spirit of the art made centuries ago? Could it be that this painting may not be a full communication (one of a series by the artist)? As it turns out, it is.

Actually it sort of looks like she fell and partially caught herself on the piano.
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

This is a must see! I haven't had a good laugh for a long time! And I don't think I've ever seen any other Bored Panda post that was so relatable!
Whats with the guy in #8 running into battle with his penis pointing the way!
I LOVE these, but when I try to share on Facebook, the image is not one I want to show on my page, not what my readers will look at, and nto representative of the great humor here! Remove the sex image so I can share for ART, humor and third maybe you want people to see you page. Thanks for sharing, but please don't force how others share - it's not good marketing for you site.
There have been photos of desert dunes that Facebook AI thought was bare boobies. F**k Facebook.

"dumb-down them"? "Dumb them down", you mean. You proved your point inadvertently, I suppose.
Hilarious!!! Also Buzzfeed &/or Bored Panda, is this the new math? 31+ is now = to183.

I was gonna share, but the 'netflix' pic popped up as the illustration. Really, BP.
A few of these are just about phone problems. Since I am a millennial by birth age. I can say I don't have this problem. And the rest of us need to grow up and pay more attention. The age in which you were born does not give you an excuse to complain about your auto correct or losing your phone. Hehehehe. Okay except for when apples auto correct was really messed up. That was on them.
