Cowabunga, dude. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles need to come out of their shells a little when they're not eating pizza in the sewers.
So on Thursday, Ninja Turtle Michelangelo (sometimes spelled Michaelangelo) decided to pay a visit to the Michelangelo exhibit at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This morning we welcomed Michelangelo, one of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (@TMNT) at The Met. Our celebrity guest came to see the work of an artist who happens to share his name. https://t.co/jUPJhto7Xr #MetMichelangelo pic.twitter.com/YS7T5xZv9a

The museum tweeted out several photos of the comic crimefighter enjoying his namesake's masterpieces.
All four of the heroes in a half-shell are named after Italian artists of the Renaissance, but Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael were probably out indulging in New York's finest pizza rather than getting their culture on.
Fans appreciated the photos.

My museum-and-TMNT-loving 4 year olds just lost their minds when I showed them this. Could you here the excited shrieks all the way from Atlanta?

The world is neatest when it's being dumb, y'all. Remember that.
