This Is The Funniest Instagram Account In The World For Art Lovers

If you’re an art lover and need a laugh, the answer is as easy as an Instagram handle. Enter @tabloidarthistory.

Akin to likeminded comical art-history accounts such as Classical Art Memes and Culture Trip’s very own Eyecatcher, Tabloid Art History, or TAH, takes the lols to another level with its absolutely hilarious comparisons of famous paintings and celebrities.

Remember when Britney Spears had the year from hell? TAH takes you back.

The brains behind the operation are Elise Bell, Chloe Esslemont and Mayanne Soret, who curate both the Instagram account and its accompanying Twitter page. Their mantra is to keep art history alive and well in contemporary society by ‘comparing the best of pop culture to a broad range of art historical references,’ thereby fusing the art of yesteryear with something modern that everyone, even non-arty people, can relate to.

In our opinion, there is real weight to what the women of TAH are trying to accomplish. Although the first thing their witty and seemingly irreverent posts probably do is make people laugh, beneath the surface there is huge opportunity to introduce their 17,500+ followers to an entire canon of art they may not have previously been aware of.

From Modigliani to Marie Laurencin, every artist is named in the caption along with their celeb twin. This format is as educational as it is entertaining, and it teaches viewers in the best way possible – because they don’t even realise they’re learning.

We can’t wait to watch TAH grow and look forward to all the fun we’ll no doubt have doing so. Bring on the laughs!

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
