Because he had no Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh
Those dustbins must be very intelligent.
I think he would have Louvred it
It was a timeless piece of art
Attendant: Sir, that’s a mirror.
"They must cost a lot of Monet!"
I think it had just delivered a package or something.
Me: "Dad, I want to see the Vangogh gallery."
Dad: "Van-go? I'd rather Van-stay here!"
One of the galleries had an air conditioner in it. I pointed to it and said "I like this piece, it's very cool."
She groaned and slapped me for it.

So we were going to see an Impressionist exhibit at the art museum and my friend, in her best Jerry Maguire voice, goes "Show me the Monet!"
did you hear about that vampire movie with tilde swinton and Hiddleston? they're making a sequel, where they break into french art museums. I'm told it'd be called "Only Louvres left alive."
My parents visited me last weekend. Short on ideas, we decided to hit up a widely-respected art museum. They had some new exhibitions, some of which were a little outside our personal tastes and expectations.
We walked into a photography exhibit and saw, along one wall, a sheet of green. This sheet of green was a little higher and taller than the average door, and stretched all the way down that bit of wall plus a few feet onto the floor.
"Oh," I said, "a green screen. That's kind of a neat little thing to have here. Sort of an homage to that style of film, I guess?"
Little did I know. In hindsight, I don't know why I expected anything different.
My father and I approached the plaque beside it. There we learned the truth: This was not a green screen. No. No, this was a specially printed photograph.
A photograph... of a green screen.
There we stood, astonished at the audacity of the thing before us. "My God," I said aloud, "This, right here, this is something else. This is just plain genius. Can you imagine getting money for something like this? Why didn't we come up with this? This is gold!"
To which my dad simply responded, "No, son...
... it's green."
true story- Mom and Dad went to the museum yesterday and I noticed my Dad had a big bruise on his arm. I asked him how it happened and he said he got it at the museum. My mom asked him how and he quickly replied that it must have been an art attack.
I was talking to my parents about what food I can eat in the morning, and how I'm pretty much limited to Greek Yogurt.
"Whats the difference between Greek Yogurt and Regular Yogurt?" Asked my dad.
"The bacteria is more cultured." explained mom
"What does that mean? Do they listen to classical music and frequent the art museum?"
