The J. Paul Getty Museum, one of the biggest art museums on the West Coast of the United States, started a #artathome movement on Twitter that got people from all over the world interested. People are supposed to recreate their favorite pieces of art using only the things they have at home. People are using everything: children, pets, garden tools, the stuff from their cupboards and fridges — people are really finding new ways of expressing themselves right now.

We at Bright Side were blown away by the imagination of art lovers and we want to share the best recreations of the great masterpieces that people made. And in the bonus, you will see how our writers supported the movement.
