Museum asks people to recreate art from household items while social distancing and it's delightful

Most people are staying at home, but that doesn't mean we can't appreciate good art.

To combat the spread of the coronavirus, the state of California issued a stay at home order last week. That means that all non-essential businesses, including museums, have to close for the foreseeable future. To keep the appreciation for the arts alive, the Getty Museum in Los Angeles asked people to recreate their favorite works of art using household objects.

After all, it's not like anyone was doing anything else during their self-quarantine.
