50 Times Adults Decided To Have Some Fun In These Museums And Art Galleries
Museums are so much fun, it’s ridiculous that it’s not against the law. We absolutely love walking (remember, no running!) down the corridors of art galleries, as well as science and history museums. But while we’re absorbing all of that knowledge and human genius, we also remember to have a spot of fun. This article is all about that.
Our team here at Bored Panda has curated this list of those glorious moments when people had tons of fun at museums. Have a scroll and stroll down our digital gallery and remember to touch the art as much as you’d like. Oh, and if you have a favorite museum, why not let us know all about it in the comments? For instance, we’re huge fans of the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Omg don't even get me started on phony art people. You could take a s**t in the corner and at least 10 people will go "oh my stars, what a beautiful piece, the hardness of the poop reflects how tense and stressed the author is and, the singular fly buzzing around the excrement reveals the loneliness of the author, oh my the colour is magnificent, it's the brownest brown my artsy-fartsy eyes have ever witnesses. Oh and the redness-yellowness of that u-rine (yes, they pronounce it like this) means... well it reminds me I should see a doctor, dem kidneys are a-strugglin' youknowhatImean ahahah Francine cancel my 3-oclock caviar tasting mhm, thanks darling." 🤢

Back when I was in college, my boyfriend and I went to the Morris Museum in New Jersey. For some reason, he decided to dress up as the 10th Doctor (David Tennent) and walked around the automaton exhibit continuously using his Sonic Screwdriver. It was NOT Halloween.

Love these (except for the people putting stuff in art galleries, not a big fan of "gotchas")

why? They're making art. If art isn't about social commentary, then what is it?

... I love all the "Placed Item XY in modern art museum and people thought it was part of the exhibition!"-events. That seems to really work - gotta try that. I do own, believe me or not, a few empty cardboard boxes in different sizes, of which I may just pick one, fold small, smuggle in, and expose. That's gonna be cool! Also - the assumption of Beavis and Butt-head about David's Device ... "It's hard, but it's not hard!" - yeah, spot on, Butt-head, spot on as anything can be spot or anything can be on ... and, both, is it!
