An interesting game where you are presented with 10 artifacts from the MET. You have to place where the artifact is from and what time period it is from. Each artifact scores up to 10,000 points, and you lose points the further away your guess is and how far off in time you are. You can only play once a day. Thanks to @baebeylik for showing this to me.

Today I scored really well. Yesterday ... not so much.

Group VIII, No. 7 by Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (1862-1944). Painted in 1913

I met this young lady, wrapped up in white linen

All dressed in white linen, cold as the clay

When I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure

When I was a young girl I used to drink ale

Right out of an ale house, down into the jailhouse

Right out of a barroom, down to my grave

Come mama, come papa and seat you down by me

Seat here down by me and pity my case

For my poor head is aching, my poor heart is breaking

I am a poor young girl, and I know I’ve done wrong

Go send for the preacher to come and pray for me

Send for the doctor to heal up my wound

For my poor head is aching, my sad heart is breaking

My body’s salivated, and I know I must die

One morning, one morning, one morning in May

I met this young lady, wrapped up in white linen
