Happy Friday, everyone! Here's a #MuseumBum to celebrate from the #Louvre in #Paris. The artist, Cristoforo Stati, called this "L'Amitié," which means "friendship." @museumbums.bsky.social, feel free to use this.
Photo of the rear of Cristoforo Stati's marble statue L'Amitié. The nude figure is standing with one hand resting on a tree stump.

It's a sunny Monday & I'd rather be swimming in a warm sea. This beautiful dainty Egyptian spoon in the shape of a swimming woman caught my eye. She looks so graceful & has a lovely #MuseumBum! She from the Sanam Temple & dates c690-660 BC. @ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social @museumbums.bsky.social
Photo shows a female figure about the length of a hand lying on a perspex cube on a museum shelf. The Woman is lying on her front and her hair is tied up in a bun. She holds a kind of basket in her outstretched hands and has a lovely shapely bottom.

Hey @museumbums.bsky.social I was at a recording in the BBC Radio Theatre in London last night and there are bas relief carvings around the sides.

I took this for you!

Not sure I like the look on the third lioness’ face.

A naked archer leads three lionesses. Two walk ahead of her, the third walks behind and looks like it is about to bite her ‘museumbum’.

We've decided to add a new piece to Chess: the MuseumBum. You roll a D20 and that's how many spaces it can move in any direction 😁
#MuseumBums 👍🏛️🍑 ♟️

Thanks @sheena-mck.bsky.social and @rchdnv.bsky.social for sharing this view from Mount Stewart in County Down, Northern Ireland 😁
A photo looking into a room in a stately home with a chequerboard floor, decorated columns, a chandelier, and a statue of a nude figure right in the middle so it looks like they're a chess piece

My Roman cameo fragment's got no nose! How do they smell? Terrible!!!! 🤣
👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBum

c25 BCE, vessel fragment with Perseus and Andromeda, held at La Bibliotheque Nationale de France

Thanks @laurakrugel_ for sharing 😁
Cameo glass with a vivid blue background and white relief figures. The fragment shows a figure standing, an arm of another figure is leaning out towards their face, as if to do the "got your nose" action

Another movie night, another #MuseumBum 👍🏛️🍑🎥. Have you noticed the figurine on the bedside table in Cruel Intentions? It's Breton Wrestlers (1929) by Malvina Hoffman. Her work can be found in The Met in NYC and The Art Institute of Chicago.

"In passing through the artist's mind, this form of a mere model has been transfigured... It has acquired permanence, dignity, repose, elevation"
👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

John Addington Symonds really liked Hippolyte Flandrin's "Study, young male nude seated by the sea", c1836! 😁
