A reminder to look up in historic buildings: you might miss the unexpected bums on the ceiling! 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

From the school of Alessandro, 1581, on the ceiling of the @uffizigalleries.bsky.social 😁🇮🇹
Painted plaster showing a lot of intricate detail. The main focus is a horned and goat-hoofed satyr, firing an arrow at a figure who's bent over with their robe above their waist, baring their bum

Sculpted and curved domes in front of the Florence Duomo 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

"Korf 17 Giant", by Emanuele Gianelli, 2017 😁

(Expect a lot more from Florence this week 🇮🇹)
Two giant sculpted figures stand tall, looking upward towards the dome of Florence Duomo in the night sky. Over their eyes are headsets or light boxes. Their top halves are gold and from under their bums downwards are black. A tourist stares up at the front of one of the giant figures from directly beneath them

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

I think it's safe to say films can no longer refer to American president as " leader of the free world " anymore

The Museum of Classical Archaeology in Cambridge has the highest number of #MuseumBums per square metre in the UK (we counted!) 👍🏛️🍑

Sometimes it's hard to turn a corner there and not find new bums 😁
