The Museum Made For The Age Of Instagram: Ice Cream!

"More than 241,000 people follow its page, and countless more have posted their own photos from within the space.

In that context, each new image of the president, and each image of the people and things surrounding him, takes on not only the quality of art—provocative, illustrative, asking to be analyzed—but also the quality of a mystery."

"When you click on the footnotes, located in tiny typography to the right of the main text, they overtake the main text so you can get a closer look. ...

Experts: Leonardo Might Have Drawn Nude Mona Lisa

Scientists in Paris have been looking into a charcoal drawing of a woman, which was until now believed to have been drawn by Leonardo's students. The drawing, titled Joconde Nue, shows a topless woman who bears a striking resemblance to the Mona Lisa that hangs at the Louvre museum in central Paris.
