A comedian named Max Norman is making art galleries fun for visitors. He dresses up as a character named Coco and leads funny, interactive museum tours in London and other cities.

dresses up as= 裝扮成、扮演(特定角色)

During a tour at an Edinburgh festival last month, Coco taught people about art history using comedy and games. Visitors curtsied to old paintings of kings and queens to learn about their personal lives. They also lay down on the floor to learn about an 18th-century Scottish battle.

lay down= lie down(躺下)的過去式

Max Norman created the tour because of his childhood experience. His mother was an artist and often took him to art galleries across London, where he often felt bored. Now, he uses humor to help visitors enjoy museum art.

because of= 因為、由於(後接名詞或名詞片語)
