These Hilarious Memes By the Art Gallery of NSW Are a Real Highlight of the Week
Someone deserves a pay rise.
If you've been oscillating between "alright" and somewhere south of "fine", here's a little story to brighten up your day.
Like most businesses in Sydney's lockdown, the Art Gallery of NSW has been forced to close and get creative — a situation Melburnians know all too well. Its solution? Pair up artwork from its huge historical collection with Instagram captions that are so clever and on the nose that we here at Concrete Playground expect someone to get a pay rise after all this is over. Seriously.
Check out some of the best memes below if you need a giggle. You can also follow the Art Gallery of NSW's Instagram page for more content.
