The new Tondo Doni display looks like a washing machine: and the Uffizi responds to the web with irony!

In the hours following the presentation of the new layout of Room 41 of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the web went wild proposing the most varied photomontages: in fact, many people did not like the arrangement of the Tondo Doni, Michelangelo’s masterpiece, which in the new layout has been placed in a projecting structure that echoes its circular shape. The Tondo Doni’s new “home” has thus been compared to a washing machine, a porthole, an archery target, a speaker’s woofer, and more. The Gallery and its director Eike D. Schmidt, however, have taken the ironic creativity of social users very well, and with a tweet on the museum’s official account, the director himself opened a sort of “competition” to create the most imaginative re-imagining of Room 41: “Given the great success of the new exhibit, the Director invites our followers to propose creative re-imaginings.”

Below are some of the most absurd photomontages we found on the web:
