Museums may be closed, but that doesn’t mean they don’t continue to inspire creative minds.

Several weeks ago, the Getty Museum issued a challenge to art lovers worldwide to re-create their permanent collection using items around the house and sharing them online using the hashtag #gettymuseumchallenge. The call went viral, with many here in Phoenix participating.

Our favorites submissions are below. If we missed yours, please share them with us in the comments. Enjoy!
