Getty Museum asked Twitter to re-create its famous artworks

The Los Angeles' Getty Museum set its Twitter followers a challenge, engaging every passionate about Art and creative minds into something very cool while they're forced to stay at home by the state of quarantine. The challenge is basic: they have to re-create their favourite artworks using themselves as the subjects or household objects as props. as expected, the entire web population answered its call with enthusiasm and some results are actually masterpieces. 

From March 14th, 2020 Getty Museum (as well as its colleagues all around the world) is closed to the public due to the emergency of COVID-19. Fortunately, creativity never dies: among the artworks recreated by users there is The Scream by Munch, a portrait of Frida Kahlo, an installation by Jeff Koons reproduced with laundry and La Creazione di Adamo by Michelangelo. There's even Camille Monet with her cute doggie.

It's not the first time that a similar trend goes viral, but it never happened before that it was such an important institution as the Getty Museum to promote it. Beauty will save the world, said Dostoevskij. If not beauty, at least we'll always have sympathy.
