Published 10 years ago

Denmark-based designer and marketing specialist Olivia Muus made her trip to a museum a little bit more fun than usual. While facing the historical portraits, she took photos of them with her arms positioned to make the subjects of the paintings look like they were taking selfies themselves.

Even those who are bit tired of the overwhelming selfie buzz will find this ironic selfie series amusing for its blend of history and modern trends.
