# A Funny Thing Happened to Me on the Way to the Museum — Lecturer Dr. Doron Lauria > Haifa Events **Category:** lecture ## Description A Funny Thing Happened to Me on the Way to the Museum — Lecturer Dr. Doron Lurie Art is no laughing matter, yet humor can be found in it too. "Timeless" humor versus "humor of its time," embarrassing mistakes and absurd errors in art history, humor that wouldn't meet today's standards of political correctness, and more. Why does the director of the Louvre believe the Tel Aviv Museum is in Tunisia? How does the Spanish painter Francisco Goya reveal in his portrait of the Queen of Spain what he truly thinks of her? The political cartoons of Chanoch Piven, the humor of Banksy, and more. Lecturer Dr. Doron Lurie — art curator and researcher. Expert in museology and European art. Senior art curator and former chief restorer at the Tel Aviv Museum. From the lecture series: Art Is Life and It Has It All! About the series: A fascinating journey through eras, styles, artists and works.
