Father Explores Museum Following Gummy Ingestion and Bursts Into Laughter at Oversized Art Pieces

**Uncontrollable Laughter: A Trip to the Museum with Pops and Robert Therrien’s Amusing Art**

Museums are typically venues for silent reflection, yet writer and director Jason Gudasz and his father, affectionately called “Pops,” transformed their excursion to The Broad into a viral comedy fest. The catalyst? Robert Therrien’s enormous table and chairs installation, which had Pops in fits of laughter.

**A Gummy, an Enormous Table, and Laughter Aplenty**

Prior to entering the museum, Pops ingested a gummy that made its effects felt right as he encountered Therrien’s giant furniture. The footage showcasing Pops’ humorous reaction has struck a chord with viewers globally, sparking laughter and an abundance of remarks about the relatability of his experience.

**Art Through Innocent Eyes**

While Pops’ laughter was instant and contagious, Therrien’s creations carry a more profound significance. His colossal installations aim to connect with childhood—a period of amazement and exaggerated perceptions. The oversized furniture in the exhibition induces a sense of diminutiveness that can trigger a return to a childlike mindset, which Pops vividly illustrated.

**A Rising Social Media Sensation**

Capitalizing on his father’s art-induced joy, Gudasz created a specific Instagram account to document Pops’ artistic excursions. Their fun and carefree perspective on experiencing art serves as a reminder of the delight and amazement museums can evoke, regardless of one’s age or level of sobriety.

**Experience the Laughter Up Close**

For anyone eager to witness the joyous, art-inspired hilarity in person, the Robert Therrien: This is a Story exhibition at The Broad showcases over 120 works and runs until April 5. It’s an opportunity not just to admire contemporary sculpture but also to tap into your inner child and share a moment of contagious laughter, just like Pops.
