Visiting an art museum can be a serious undertaking if you plan to look and think, maybe even read labels and think.

But, it isn’t all work.

I love the art museums in Germany. They have lovely cafes attached to most of them.

And the Glyptothek in Munich even had some unorthodox works on display that I very much enjoyed. Have a look at the next 4 photos of some very clever “works of art.” Someone has clipped parts of famous artworks and paired them with unexpected additions. Simone Martini’s angel Gabriel from the world-renowned Annunciation panel painting (housed at the Uffizi in Florence) and an added leopard! The angel embraces the cat in a forest where it seems snow is falling?

I love that! And not only because I love that Simone Martini painting beyond anything else!

You get the drift. Aren’t these fun? I’m inspired!

Now why didn’t I think of making these?
