An Art Museum In Los Angeles Is Killing The Snapchat Game

Wazzzup, art history?!?!

Once upon a time, Snapchat was the app of choice for nudie shots and music festivals. No longer!

Thanks to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's current social media guru Lucy Redoglia and the original LACMA snapchat creator Maritza Lerman Yoes, the sexting app du jour is having a renaissance, with the help of some Renaissance art! (I promise, her jokes are better than mine.)

LACMA

If art history-inspired memes get your blood pumping, we highly recommend adding LACMA on Snapchat, like, right now. There are few better ways to celebrate your favorite artists Auguste Rodin and Simon Vouet than by imagining them jamming to Beyonce or quoting "Mean Girls."

"We have a couple goals for our social media here," Redoglia told Refinery29. "Obviously, bringing people in the door is one, but it's also about spreading awareness of the museum and its collection to people who might not be able to attend -- to get people interested in art history."

LACMA
