IT\u2019S TIME FOR #CURATORBATTLE!?<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s theme<\/a> is #BestMuseumBum!<\/p>\n

This cracking Roman marble statuette depicts an athlete at the peak of fitness! It may have decorated the town house of one of Eboracum\u2019s wealthier residents. Has someone taken a bite out of this ??<\/p>\n

\n An international battle of the bums is taking place on Twitter \u2014 with museums around the world claiming to have the art with the best bottoms.<\/p>\n

The challenge was laid down by the Yorkshire Museum in late June.<\/p>\n

\u201cIT\u2019S TIME FOR #CURATORBATTLE! Today\u2019s 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\u2019s wealthier residents. Has someone taken a bite out of this? BEAT THAT!\u201d the museum tweeted.<\/p>\n

Since then, museums around the world have weighed in on the battle of the butts.
<\/br>
\n\u201cWe raise your athlete and instead give you the bum of a drunken fish. Yes you heard me. Made by Pamela Mei Yee Leung, it was part of a body of work which married animals and humans together to create mythological creatures with personalities. #BestMuseumBum #CuratorBattle,\u201d The York Art Gallery tweeted.<\/p>\n

The more austere The Victoria and Albert Museum, not surprisingly, chose a more staid bum, tweeting: \u201cGet a load of this (peach emoji). Whilst the cast of Michelangelo\u2019s David caused quite the stir because of his very exposed front parts (cue fig leaf), the real cause for commotion is actually his butt. It\u2019s so good we need a closer look #bestmuseumbum\u201d<\/p>\n
