We're on a little holiday! 🏖️
Enjoy the break 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums
You can also explore beach bods and hunky guys in "Museum Bums" the book, and "Hotties in Art" (pre-order here: linktr.ee/jackshoulder 🩷🩵)
Join Jack Shoulder and Mark Small, writers and historians, and authors of Museum Bums, for a romp through the queer bums of history. What do Hieronymus Bosch, the Roman cult of Antinous, and the peach emoji have in common? But of course, butts, of course! 💬✨
📍 No.1 Royal Crescent, Servants Hall
📆 Thursday 11 June, 6.00 - 7.15pm, doors open 5.30pm
🎫 Via our website (link in bio)
The Museum Bums team takes a cheeky look at butts in art and as part of the Queer Bath programme, this will be a fun event getting to the bottom of historical butts, art and queer peaches of the past. Expect high art, low comedy, and signed books. Museum Bums takes you on a whirlwind tour of the finest rear ends in museums around the world, divided into six categories of keisters. This book of artistic behinds is both a celebration and study of the bounty of beautiful bums and their everlasting impressions.
Talks are 45mins-1hr with additional time for questions and discussion. Bar serves wine and soft drinks🍷
