This Museum Asked People To Recreate Famous Paintings At Home, And Here’s How They Did… (23 Pics)

Remember the Getty challenge?

At the beginning of the pandemic, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles asked people to post photos of themselves recreating some of their favorite pieces of art. It totally went viral and people loved it.
