Museum Selfie Day History

Museum Selfie Day celebrates the selfies taken at museums. Mar Dixon created the hashtag, Museum Selfie Day, while he was visiting a museum in Paris with his daughter. The idea behind this observance is not just about taking a picture of the art, but it is also a reminder of that moment, and all the experiences that occurred throughout the visit. Museum Selfie Day is observed annually on January 21st.
