Text This Number With Any Subject and They'll Text You Back Artwork Depicting It

It's hard to really enjoy artwork every day of our lives when we're so busy with our daily routines, but a new program from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art invites you to interact with art in a quick, easy and fascinating way. With the "Send Me" feature, you simply send a text to 572-51 saying "send me [x]" and they will reply with a piece of art that depicts that subject. Even if you go to the museum on a regular basis, you're still likely to get back artwork you've never seen as only 5% of their collection is ever on display at a time.

Not every topic will get a result though. I tried "send me a racoon" and was told they didn't have anything in the collection matching it. Even so, most subjects will work.
