London: Makati City, a part of the Manila metropolitan area in the Philippines which has acquired the title of “selfie capital of the world” has now come up with an art museum that, instead of keeping you away from art pieces, allows you to take selfies with them and share the pictures with the world.
The Art in Island in the Philippines’s capital, Manila, uses three dimensional replicas of paintings and is rightly dubbed the planet’s “first-ever selfie museum”.
The museum not only encourages its visitors in selfie-taking on its premises, they are also invited to touch, play with, and climb on the paintings and sculptures, The Creators Project reported.
“Here, art paintings are not complete if you are not with them. If you don't take pictures with them,” Blyth Cambaya, the museum’s corporate secretary, was quoted as saying by Mashable.
Tourists visiting the museum seem to be liking the experience as museums around the world generally do not allow visitors to be part of them, depriving them of the delight of sharing their experience of being in the museum.
