A Museum of Selfies Is Opening in L.A.
"Just when you thought selfies and museums couldn't be possibly more intertwined, a new institution combining both is opening. Meet the Museum of Selfies, which will prove that the art of selfies extends beyond the Museum of Ice Cream and Yayoi Kusama exhibits. In fact, it dates back 40,000 years, according to the museum. The Los Angeles-based pop-up, which runs from April 1 to May 31, will also provide backdrops for those who've come in search of a photoshoot. The museum offers an educational yet playful approach to providing a lens on human history and art through immersive and interactive installations, while poking a little a fun at itself and human nature. From cavemen drawings to a 'Narcissist' installation to a vertigo-inducing rooftop selfie illusion, the museum touches on a variety of points in human history that examines the intention of the selfie and what it means to the artist and its viewers. The Museum of Selfies, which takes about 60 to 90 minutes to go through for a $25 ticket fee, comes on the heels of the world's first exhibit on the history of the selfie, which opened place at London's Saatchi Gallery last year."
