  • Based on the viral Twitter account of the same name, Museum Bums, a celebration of art classic, history and shapely behinds, encourages readers to learn something new while still managing to laugh. What's the point common between Hieronymus Bosch, the Roman cult of Antinous and the peach emoji? buttocks, of course! Divided into six categories of buttocks, this history book humorous takes you on a whirlwind tour of the most beautiful posteriors of museums around the world, luxuriously rendered buttocks from the painting of the Renaissance of the abstract curves of contemporary art. Mark Small and Jack Shoulder, heritage specialists and art teachers, combine insightful social commentary, historical context and living legends to captivating depictions of tasteful - and sometimes cheeky - buttocks - in art. This assortment of artistic buttocks is both a celebration and a study of the abundance of beautiful buttocks and their eternal impressions, whether it is an angel who is slyly having fun in a 16th century triptych of a twenty-five thousand year old Bodace Venus or Cézanne's dreamy bathers. Museum Bums invites readers to admire, enjoy and laugh, while learning a little art and history - a perfect gift for anyone who loves fine art, museums and buttocks.
