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.

I just love the look on Jesus face like : "bro, you serious, not even dead yet " while she stares him back with contempt : "Yet. " xD

I'm going to hell for laughing so hard at a picture of the crucifixion!
Ed Brentnall 6 years ago
IS that supposed to be a reference to the shroud or whatever it's called in the bible?

That is the Veil of Veronica. The woman (veronica) used it to wipe Jesus' face off blood and sweat and the features of His face remained printed on it. It is considered to be the first icon of Jesus and the main source of inspiration for the first paintings and icons.

And then people complain about youtubers plugging theit merch all day. They wouldn't know Veronica (the woman with the "merch") already had the hottest merch in the game!

People, it is so sad u don’t know the story behind this! Veronica did a kindness and wiped Jesus’ bloodied and dirtied face. This is no joke. He suffered all this for us.

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.

This looks very much like she's trying to get away from being raped. Very strange thing to paint.

I LOVE these, but when I try to share on Facebook, the image is not one I want to show on my page, not what my readers will look at, and nto representative of the great humor here! Remove the sex image so I can share for ART, humor and third maybe you want people to see you page. Thanks for sharing, but please don't force how others share - it's not good marketing for you site.

A few of these are just about phone problems. Since I am a millennial by birth age. I can say I don't have this problem. And the rest of us need to grow up and pay more attention. The age in which you were born does not give you an excuse to complain about your auto correct or losing your phone. Hehehehe. Okay except for when apples auto correct was really messed up. That was on them.
