- The Metropolitan Museum of Art is having a Michelangelo exhibit.
- They invited Michelangelo the Teenage Mutant Turtle to check it out.
- The photos are hilarious and people are having fun with them.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is currently hosting a big exhibition about the Renaissance-era painter Michelangelo Buonarroti, known for painting "The Sistine Chapel Ceiling" and "The Creation of Adam," as well as the sculpture "David." And who better to invite than Michelangelo himself?
And so that's what they did: As a public relations stunt, the Met brought a guy dressed up as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and posted pictures on Twitter.
