I know it, you know it, everybody knows it: 2020 has been a strange year. And it's not even finished yet, so god only help us with what's to come. The reality is that kids will be learning about 2020 in history class in the not-too-distant-future, and they'll be asking a lot of questions about what went down. And while we may not have the answers, a 2020 museum might. And no good museum is complete without a gift shop for parents to buy kids a bunch of expensive useless crap they'll break after two minutes and never use again. Redditers hypothesize about what would be on sale at this 2020 museum gift shop, and the answers are both depressing and hilarious at the same time.

Museums across the globe have submitted their best butt exhibit and explained exactly why they think their entry should win.

Whether it's obvious or subtle, one thing is for sure; it's weird. But that's art, right? Enjoy these strange but wonderful gluten-free artworks below.

Just because we're in the middle of a global pandemic and museums are closed, doesn't mean we can't see the exhibits inside them!

Here is The Museum of Bad Art, or MOBA, the museum dedicated to the ugliest artworks, or more precisely to art too bad to be ignored. This amazing museum, founded in 1993 by the American antique dealer Scott Wilson, today has a collection of 60 artworks whose first acquisition, Lucy in the Field with Flowers, was found in a garbage can. The paintings are selected for their singular qualities which distinguish them from pure incompetence. The Museum of Bad Art is located in the basement of the Dedham Community Theater, near Boston, and you can view its complete collection online. Via: Ufunk
