### **The Science Behind the Enchantment**
At first sight, the heat-changing mugs may appear simple and unassuming. Without the influence of heat, they boast static images or designs that don’t immediately disclose their secrets. However, once you fill them with a piping hot drink, the heat-sensitive material reacts to the temperature increase, revealing dynamic and colorful visuals.
This cutting-edge technique merges art and thermochromatic technology to craft a tactile and engaging experience. Whether it’s converting planets into informative graphics or bringing iconic classical art to life, each mug feels like a secret world awaiting discovery.

#### **1. Great Nudes of Art Heat-Changing Mug**
Art lovers will be captivated by the *Great Nudes of Art Mug*, a witty reinterpretation of iconic artworks. The mug showcases pieces from legendary artists such as Édouard Manet, Michelangelo, and Botticelli. But there’s an unexpected twist: the figures in these masterpieces are initially clothed. Pouring hot coffee or tea into the mug makes the clothing vanish before your eyes, unveiling the figures as their creators intended—expressing both beauty and vulnerability in the nude.
Available for just $19.95 (or $16.96 for My Modern Met members), this mug is a delightful way to introduce a piece of the art gallery into your home.
