Bette Midler asked, 'What's wrong with this picture?' The answer was universal: nothing
Discovered on 11 December 09:00 AM EST.
- Bette Midler posed this question to Twitter, sharing an image of three young girls huddled on a bench in New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. She knew the answer before she asked for it -- their backs are turned towards "Aegina Visited by Jupiter," a painting by 18th-century artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, as they focus intently on their phones instead.
- Perhaps the girls tired out after spending a day in one of the world's largest art galleries, are taking a much-needed reprieve in the European paintings gallery before heading back out to consume more art, one user suggested.
- The girls in the photo shared by Midler aren't obstructing the view of the painting or taking pictures of it (that is sometimes against museum rules), Sreenivasan noted.
- Rijksmuseum's app lets users map their own route through the museum, search images by artist or keyword and read the history behind every artwork.
