The Museum of Selfies

Before dismissing selfies as entirely narcissistic or lowbrow, a quick reminder that this art form has a history that dates back 40,000 years and some of the most celebrated artists of all time created a lot of them—from Rembrandt to Picasso, Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh and more. From 1 April to 31 May in LA, a pop-up exhibition about and for self-portraits—aptly named The Museum of Selfies—will be open to the public. While exploring the phenomenon throughout history and culture, the “interactive museum” is also a little tongue-in-cheek and humorous.
