The Museum Bums book - out now!

What do Hieronymus Bosch, the Roman cult of Antinous, and the peach emoji have in common? But of course, butts, of course!

Based on the eponymous viral Twitter account, Museum Bums takes you on a whirlwind tour of the finest rear ends in museums around the world, divided into six categories of keisters. Heritage scholars and art educators Mark Small and Jack Shoulder pair illuminating social commentary and historical context and lively captions with more than 270 depictions of tasteful—and sometimes cheeky— bums in art. From an angel slyly copping a feel in a 16th century triptych, to a 25,000-year-old bodacious Venus, to Cezanne’s dreamy booty-ful bathers, this ass-ortment of artistic behinds is both a celebration and study of the bounty of beautiful bums and their everlasting impressions.
