Hatalmas küzdelem zajlik az online térben a múzeumi kurátorok között, miután a Yorkshire Múzeum azzal a felhívással jelentkezett a Twitteren, hogy gyűjtsék össze a legjobb, legmeggyőzőbb, legizgalmasabb fenekeket.

A kezdeményezés nem titkolt célja, hogy a koronavírus-járvány miatt kieső látogatókat visszacsábítsák majd a múzeumokba. De addig is lehetőséget biztosítanak nekik a múzeumi hátsók alapos virtuális megvizsgálására.

A #BestMuseumBum hashtag mentén rengeteg pályamű futott be a világ minden tájáról, lehet szemezgetni:

IT’S TIME FOR #CURATORBATTLE!������

Today’s 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’s wealthier residents. Has someone taken a bite out of this ������?

BEAT THAT!������ pic.twitter.com/N3A6KYz339

We 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 pic.twitter.com/qUAa3NgGcG

Same derriere, different decade

You can track Henry VIII's burgeoning bottom through our collection of his combat armours. The Tudor tubster went from a modest 32in waist in 1520 to a whopping 51in booty by 1540.

For today’s #CURATORBATTLE (or perhaps #CURATORREBUTTAL?) theme of #BestMuseumBum, we present Hercules knocking it out of the park...

A work by the goldsmith Francesco Pomarano, this boxwood statuette was already a celebrated piece in the #sixteenthcentury.#WallaceFromHome pic.twitter.com/3LoD6JkIOa
