The act of striking a pose in a quiet gallery is a wonderfully rebellious act against traditional "museum etiquette." For decades, museums were presented as near-silent temples of high culture, where visitors were expected to observe passively and speak in whispers.

But thanks to the wonderful minds on the internet, one trend completely upends that notion. It treats the gallery not as a library, but as a playground, a space for interaction, interpretation, and performance. Let's take a look at some of the most creative museum recreations of art that people have shared on a now-viral thread.
