Museums Ask People To Recreate Famous Paintings With Anything They Can Find At Home, Get 26 Hilarious Pics

Even though most of us are stuck at home and can’t go out and enjoy art in museums, that doesn’t mean that life is boring or uncultured. The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles (or the Getty for short) challenged people to post photos of themselves recreating their favorite classic paintings from the safety of their homes.

The Getty’s fans responded with a lot of enthusiasm to their internet challenge and flooded social media with their unique artistic interpretations. We’ve collected some of the best recreations of famous paintings, so scroll down and feast your eyes. Don’t forget to upvote your faves and share which ones you loved best, dear Readers.

People are having a lot of fun becoming beautiful paintings, but this isn’t the first time folks have done this. In fact, the Getty Museum challenge was inspired by an Instagram account from Amsterdam called Tussen Kunst en Quarantaine (aka Between Art and Quarantine). So be sure to check them out as well. However, the Getty isn't the only art museum doing a challenge like this. The Pinchuk Art Centre in Kyiv, Ukraine, also challenged the art community to reproduce their fave oil paintings from their art collection by taking part in the #mystetstvovdoma or #artathome challenge. Check out our post about the Pinchuk Art Centre's challenge right here.
