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

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.

Thank you. I didn't know this hack. Always a headache when I can't open a jar and my husband is not home yet. I will try this

Just hold the jar under the tap (faucet) with hot water running over the lid for a few minutes then dry with a towel and hey presto, the metal of the lid expands and loosens and you can open it. So far this method has never failed for me.

Depending on the type of lid, you can also pry up one side of it with a bottle opener (the type for beet bottles) and break the seal that way. Then it's easy opening, AND always remember to make sure the bottle is CLEAN before you put the lid back on. Ketchup bottles seems to cement themselves shut otherwise...

I mean chances are pretty high if you can't open it, a guy won't be able to either, sometimes they just get stuck really bad. Not the end of the world though, just use latex gloves or make a hole on the lid if it doesn't work.

I'm a strong independent woman who most definitely needs a man to open jars for her.....My hands are tiny.

Oh my gosh, really? That is completely stupid. Subsidized Viagra....not that America's insurance is anything to be too happy about, but seriously.

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
