#MuseumOlympics
It all started with a tweet... then the #MuseumOlympics took the Internet by storm! Art museums from across the globe shine new light on their collections by competing for Twitter gold.
Who says art + sports don't go 2gether? In honor of the #Olympics, we’re going for gold w/ the Twitter #MuseumOlympics! Fun starts next Mon.
Ready, Steady... GO! We're celebrating #MuseumOlympics tonight as we screen the 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony in our Theater! #AnimateWDFM
Enjoying @WDFMuseum's first #AnimateWDFM! The Olympic theme is is getting us in the mood for #MuseumOlympics next week...- See the #Olympics through an artful lens this week by following the #MuseumOlympics! Where can u find creativity in the spirit of the games?
- The #Olympics are about patriotism as much as competition. Do you have a favorite artist from your home country? Who/why? #MuseumOlympics
- @SFMOMA Besides Walt Disney? ;) Other fav/notable American artists: Disney's Nine Old Men... and who can forget Ub Iwerks!? #MuseumOlympics
Did you know? The trampoline is the only known invention in the U.S. that developed into an Olympic event. #MuseumOlympics- In ancient Greece, #Olympic athletes competed naked. Artists + athletes alike celebrated the nude. Is this no longer true? #MuseumOlympics
- @LegionofHonor Most classical sculptures are nudes. These days, can just being naked in public be considered art? #thenude #MuseumOlympics
- @SFMOMA Artist Carolee Schneemann made her thoughts in art and nudity perfectly clear. Very, very apparent indeed. #MuseumOlympics
@deyoungmuseum "the naked person is best able to lose heat." Seems obvious, but still the nude IS a lost art in #sports. #MuseumOlympics- #MuseumOlympics nakedness next to godliness. Thank God theyr wearing something! Even clothed the beautiful bodies are envied! Naked be best
@SFMOMA let's discuss artists who've contributed to opening ceremonies & their relationship to their greater works #museumolympics- @deyoungmuseum @SFMOMA I know @operaliacomp was just hosted in Beijing recently - I think they used some of the facilities. #MuseumOlympics
- @SFMOMA Donald Duck usually doesn't have pants on! But besides that, visitors tend to breeze by our WWII "pin-up" section... #MuseumOlympics
@VAJIAJIA @hirshhorn The nude is public enemy #1, at least according to Facebook's weirdly strict rules. #MuseumOlympics
Your beloved Bay Area art & sci museums (incl us) are partaking in fun Olympics-themed tweet talk. Follow #MuseumOlympics & "dive" right in
1 of my fav #KeithHaring pieces for the NYC Ballet. I think this is great for the #MuseumOlympics @sfballet #art #sport http://pic.twitter.com/yj1WviMj
@calacademy Clearly our brawny (and brainy) avatar, Rodin's "The Thinker," would be a valuable asset to any #MuseumOlympics team!- As we now know, nude is the new Nike. MT @calacademy: @LegionofHonor Absolutely! +he doesn't have clothes to get in the way. #MuseumOlympics
