The Museum of Fine Arts and J Paul Getty Museum faced off for #MuseumBowl 2019 ahead of the Superbowl for a quick game of twitter trash talk. The MFA served up plenty of fun Patriot hype zingers. The Getty managed a couple retorts. The MFA was bolstered by tremendous support from #PatriotNation New England museums.

Over the past few years, museums join in the Super Bowl spirit via trash talk on social media accounts. From humorous challenges and clever collection puns it’s morphed into big stake art bets for Super Bowl contenders: Some wins have triggered a museum loan from the losing city’s rival fine arts institution. Yesterday (see below) the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, announced a twitter showdown with the J Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles. Look for #MuseumBowl and @mfaboston and @GettyMuseum. It’s going down at 3pm TODAY, Friday, Feb 1, 2019. I don’t know if there’s a wager but I hope so! It’s great fun no matter what.
The MFA makes good use of their archives dog, Riley.
