# In-Home Museums Marc Da Cunha Lopes Keeps It Bony and Weird With 'SKLT' By Michael Hines | Published 2010-04-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-da-cunha-lopes1 References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/Gallery/SKLT/469420) & [marcdacunhalopes](http://www.marcdacunhalopes.com/) Marc Da Cunha Lopes is fast becoming one of my favorite photographers. 'SKLT' definitely keeps it weird and interesting. When's the last time you saw a [dinosaur's skeleton in a bedroom](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/addams-family-lego), anyway? Marc Da Cunha Lopes always comes with cool concepts and ideas for his photoshoots, which makes me wonder why I thought 'SKLT' could be anything but awesome. Random skeletons placed in random locations is an incredibly simple idea, executed brilliantly by Lopes.
