For ENRICHING the experience by showing an understanding of the design elements of the art? smh some museums just don't know when they've succeeded in imparting both understanding and appreciation for the source material
They also didn't mention the noises they were making. I don't actually know what noises they were making but I'm not sure it's possible to have fun posing as statues without saying anything or making nonverbal noises
That's crazy. At uni, we did an installation for a museum that wanted visitors to do this. A camera would film them and assign a percentage of accuracy of hitting the pose.
I saw that happen while in Greece also. I think part of it is trying to preserve the actual purpose of a museum rather than let it devolve into a building full of props for social media posts.
Yes, and how dare he mock the history of western theater by way of performative memetics as a form of social commentary and entertainment...in public no less!
There is a middle ground. Photographs of the objects themselves is almost always allowed. What is not great is trying to get a turn in a popular museum to view a particular piece, but you can't get a clear look because some people need to get a perfect pose for the gram. A lot of these museums in Greece that do this do not lack for visitors; it's often the opposite.

I mean, I presume they weren't ACTUALLY kicked out, I'm just going along with the meme XD

It was because the guy playing Jesus didn't really lean into it by taking his clothes off. Can't have these damn casuals ruining the vibe.

We got lectured by a museum volunteer in Greece. My wife took my picture as I imitated the tragedy face next to one.
Example:
She said it wasn't respectful to their culture and to please not post it on the internet.
I thought those faces were about theater, so mimicking them would make total sense, but whatever.

Give Greece a bad review on Yelp, it's the American way.

Oh no, I do hope museums don't get more documented and popular, we need art and history to remain distant and elitist.
