The latest "They're just good friends!" The #Pompeii house, shared by 2 men, decorated with lots of erotic art, incl this scene. The curator said: "Theories suggested the two men were brothers but ... its more likely they were buddies as slaves, then set free" #MuseumBums 👍🏛️🍑

Imagine pulling this guy up out of the sea! 🤯🤩👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums The exquisite Riace Bronzes are rare because most ancient Greek bronze was melted for re-use. Luckily Statue B escaped that by being at the bottom of the sea til 1972! Thanks

If #MuseumBums were ever to open a pub, it'd be called "The Snog and Side-Butt", and this would be the pub sign. 😁👍🏛️🍑😘 This is a detail from "La Fraternité des Peuples" by Jules Dalou, 1883, displayed in #Paris Town Hall. Thanks [@]troy.schooneman for sharing! 😁
