A woman is alone in an art museum and she is examining a painting on the wall. To her left is a similar paining but a mans head can be seen looking at her from inside the painting.
A man seems to be alive and trapped inside of a painting in the museum.
Is the man actually trapped inside a painting or is something else happening?
Excuse me—which way is Marcel Duchamp's urinal?

People sometimes need to use bathrooms while at museums and ask for directions, like this man in the painting. But here, the man is lost in the art itself, and, as a result, he's looking not just for any urinal, but for Duchamp's famous Dada sculpture "Fountain", which is just a urinal. The original sculpture was lost in real life, and so, it's funny because it's not clear if he is looking for the sculpture because he needs to pee, or if he is trying to recover it for the museum.
