Haggerty Museum of Art #MuseumSelfieDay

 

Started by London blogger Mar Dixon, the Museum Selfie Day trend has gone worldwide and inspired creative posts on social media ever since. In the past, “no photography” policies were implemented to discourage flash pictures, which degrade the quality of conserved works. But in today’s world of high-sensitivity smartphone cameras, many more museums are relaxing their rules on photography in an effort to encourage more engagement with the public. Come on in, take a selfie with your favorite work, and share it on social media with the hashtag #MuseumSelfieDay to celebrate the day.
