İngiltere’de bir müze canı sıkılan küratörleri sıra dışı bir meydan okumaya çağırdı: Sanat tarihinin en iyi popolarını bulmak… Bu cesur(!) meydan okumaya dünyanın dört bir köşesinden hiç ummadık kadar katılım geldi.
3 ay önce Yorkshire Museum diğer müzeleri sosyal medyada koleksiyonlarındaki en tuhaf objeleri paylaşmaya çağırmıştı. #engaripobje meydan okumasının vardığı noktayı biz de haber ve galeri olarak paylaşmıştık. Yeni meydan okuma ise çok daha estetik ve erotik… Yorkshire Museum bu kez #CURATORBATTLE serisi altında “Dünyanın En İyi Müze Poposu”nu arıyor. Meydan okuma mermerden atletikliğinin zirvesinde bir Roma heykelinin fotoğrafıyla ve o meşhur şeftali emojisi ile başladı.
We raise your athlete and instead give you the bum of a drunken fish. Yes you heard me.
Made by Pamela Mei Yee Leung, it was part of a body of work which married animals and humans together to create mythological creatures with personalities. #BestMuseumBum #CuratorBattle pic.twitter.com/qUAa3NgGcG

For today’s #CURATORBATTLE (or perhaps #CURATORREBUTTAL?) theme of #BestMuseumBum, we present Hercules knocking it out of the park…
A work by the goldsmith Francesco Pomarano, this boxwood statuette was already a celebrated piece in the #sixteenthcentury.#WallaceFromHome pic.twitter.com/3LoD6JkIOa

Another #CURATORBATTLE Etty for #BestMuseumBum today, this time 'Man Lying Face Down'.
We like to think he's just been to the freezer and realised he ate the last Cornetto last night. And that he can't get the drawer back in and that the whole freezer needs defrosting ☀️ pic.twitter.com/7pJ9gfTVdN

Zeus’s bottom is always a real crowd-pleaser, too. This bronze cast of a statue of the Greek god dates back to c.470 BC, and is about 2 metres tall #CURATORBATTLE pic.twitter.com/t8TNdhwvhD

Oh butt you haven't seen ours yet. We thought we'd take a crack at this week's #CURATORBATTLE with these peaches @AngleseyAbbey #BestMuseumBum. We can confirm that bottom dusting is an important part of our conservation work. pic.twitter.com/U5LZITXWPp

From the Huddersfield Art Gallery collection, we give you this painting by Henry Scott Tuke (1858-1929). It's titled 'The Blue Jacket' because that's obviously what the artist was focusing on… #BestMuseumBum #CURATORBATTLE pic.twitter.com/hmgBwjFvwV

Throughout her life, Meila Kairiūkštytė-Balkus was interested in the topic of femininity, which is reflected in her work "Elena I". Her sculptures are naturalistic, seeking to convey real rather than idealized forms of a woman. pic.twitter.com/QJfmB9gg9z— M. K. Čiurlionis National Museum of Art (@CiurlionisMus) July 1, 2020
