Museum asks people to recreate artwork at home

The Getty Museum situated in California has asked its social media following to recreate their favourite paintings housed within the museum, using three household items.

The rules are simple, choose an artwork and recreate it using either people or household items. The results are quite amusing!

We challenge you to recreate a work of art with objects (and people) in your home.

🥇 Choose your favorite artwork
🥈 Find three things lying around your house⠀
🥉 Recreate the artwork with those items

And share with us. pic.twitter.com/9BNq35HY2V
