Butt Music from The Renaissance. Wait–What?
Five hundred years ago, an artist named Hieronymus Bosch painted a triptych called The Garden of Earthly Delights. If you examine the third painting, you’ll see an image of a dude face down under a giant lute with a musical score apparently tattooed on his ass.
An Oklahoma college student has transcribed that music and offers up this recording of Renaissance butt music.

On the occasion of this discovery, I created a virtual 3D exhibition of Bosch’s most famous paintings. A museum would never be able to unite these valuable and fragile artworks all together within one single hall – everybody is invited to explore it from their laptops after installing a browser plugin. http://bit.ly/1cqwNW9
