I love visiting museums and when ever I go on holiday I always make sure to visit the museums that are local to the area that I am staying in. Today I learned something new about visiting museums, apparently since 2015 , museums have been having a selfie day once a year.
I have never heard of this until now , did you know about museum selfie day, and have you ever taken a selfie of yourself in a museum?

I have been to a few museums but not taken any selfies. If I visited Madame Tussauds in London I would definitely want to get a few selfies with my favourite characters there.

@lazydaizee Are you allowed to take photos there or do you have to buy theirs?

That would be fun, you could tell everybody that you met the famous people in real life, well, the ones who are still alive anyway.
I went there once and I found it very creepy because the waxworks were so lifelike. There was a waxwork of an old lady sitting on a bench with her shopping bag and I thought she was real. Then I noticed that she was neither moving or breathing and I was worried for a moment until I realised that she was not real.

@sprite1950 I don't know. I think some of these places can be funny about people taking photos. Perhaps they have copyright issues with there being lifelike models of famous people.

@lazydaizee I can't see the attraction myself but to each his own.

It is surprising to think of all the things that we do not know about, I have leant a lot since coming online.

These museums sound very interesting , but they are too far away for me to visit.

This is interesting. When do they celebrate it or is it different for different museums?

I am not sure if it is different depending on the museum or not, I will have to do some more research.

When was the last time you visited a museum, and which one did you go to?
