Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling is unveiled to the public. Art historian Vasari said "When the chapel was uncovered, people from everywhere [rushed] to see it, and the sight of it alone was sufficient to leave them amazed and speechless."

“The wall comes down in 1989. People think world conflict is over. We’re just going to go shopping and we’ll all be fine. Capitalism has won. But if you destabilise a world order like that, people come in to fill the vacuum.” – Margaret Atwood

‘It is the scariest of times’: Margaret Atwood on defying Trump, banned books – and her score-settling memoir
At 86, she’s a literary seer and saint – and queen of the Canadian resistance. So what does the writer make of our dystopian world?

On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

I love my neighbourhood
A traffic control box is painted with a vibrant, colorful gradient design, transitioning from red at the top through yellow, green, blue, and ending in pink at the bottom. The surface features black leopard-style spots. The word "Toronto" with a city skyline logo is visible at the bottom. The box is located on a sidewalk covered with fallen leaves, next to a metal fence and a tree, with a building in the background.

While on a cruise down the Nile, Antinous, beloved of Hadrian, mysteriously dies.
Hadrian's grief is immense: he declares Antinous a god, commissions statues made in his likeness and names cities after him.

How to Hibernate. From the 1952 book Animal Fair, by the Provensens.
Illustration titled "How to Sleep Through the Winter (Hibernate)" depicting a bear with a red scarf. The sequence includes six steps: 1) Find a comfortable cave, showing the bear walking towards trees. 2) Make sure it is vacant, with a cat peeking from the cave. 3) Lay in a good supply of firewood, as the bear saws logs. 4) Stock up on goodies for snacks, showing the bear pointing at a shelf of jars. 5) Be sure the bed is comfortable, with the bear testing a bed. 6) Set the clock for spring, as the bear adjusts a clock.

So it's 7:43, right? But the clock on the oven says 9:43? The phone says 8:43, but did I disable the automatic change settings? Let's all stay in bed until someone works out what time it is 🤔

It's fair to say we would need more than a flimsy ladder if we ever went shopping for our favourites at the Louvre... 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums

This is Cupid and Psyche, by Antonio Canova, 1787 😁 (and we've got the perfect space in Museum Bums HQ living room for it ... 🤔)

Nigel, we know you ate all the brie last night. We had artist, Luis Egidio Meléndez watching the fridge! The evidence he presented is undeniable. 👍🏛️🍑🧀 #MuseumBums

'Bosie' Douglas, an OG Demon Twink, is born. Bosie is known for his affair with Oscar Wilde and his father's crusade to bring Oscar down.

Bosie once described Wilde as "the greatest force for evil" but still made money writing about their relationship.

George Michael releases Outside, in response to his arrest for lewd behaviour in a public loo.
Speaking to @attitudemag.bsky.social about Outside he said "I felt that lightening the stigma around cruising was the most immediately beneficial thing I could do.

#MuseumBums loves the story of the Lucifer Statues of Liége Cathedral 👍🏛️🍑

~1848, Josef Geef was tasked to sculpt Lucifer. Unfortunately Lucifer was too sexy for the church. Without paying him, they commissioned his brother to replace it, so Guillaume Geef made his Lucifer *even* sexier 😁
A sexy Lucifer statue. This is the less sexy Lucifer statue, by the way
