Engleski muzej nedavno je započeo izazov kustosa kako bi vidjeli koji muzej ima najbolje pozadine u svojim zbirkama.
Muzej Yorkshire započeo je izazov fotografijom statue rimskog sportaša kojem nedostaje komad stražnjice, a vrlo brzo uključili su se muzeji diljem svijeta sa svojim fotografijama.
Lee Clark iz britanskog muzeja kaže za Bored Pandu kako izazov još uvijek traje te pobjednik još nije odabran. Inače, muzej Yorkshire svakoga petka postavi neki izazov na Twitter, a popularan je bio i onaj nedavni s najjezivijim umjetninama.
Lee kaže kako su im se javili muzeji sa svih strana svijeta, a neki od njih bili su vrlo kreativni. “U osnovi želimo stvoriti internetsku izložbu predmeta iz cijelog svijeta pod određenom temom. Da se organizira fizička izložba poput ove trebale bi godine, no na Twitteru to se može napraviti za nekoliko sati ili dana”, rekao je.
IT’S TIME FOR #CURATORBATTLE!????
Today’s theme is #BestMuseumBum!
This cracking Roman marble statuette depicts an athlete at the peak of fitness! It may have decorated the town house of one of Eboracum’s wealthier residents. Has someone taken a bite out of this ?????
BEAT THAT!???? pic.twitter.com/N3A6KYz339

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

@Rainluvvr RT @DrJEBall: The clear winner of #BestMuseumBum is the statue of Aphrodite Kallipygos (lit: “Aphrodite of the beautiful buttocks”). The clue is in the name.
She even seems fairly impressed herself. pic.twitter.com/CCkL1Wx0TG

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
