The Museum of Selfies is an interactive Museum that explores the history and cultural phenomenon of the selfie and its roots dating back 40,000 years. Visitors can explore the origin of the selfie through the lens of art, history, technology, and culture while taking some cool selfies of their very own with the Museum’s interactive installations.

Having multiple locations around the US and the world, Museum of Selfies has been even mentioned from the stage of Oscars 2020 by actor Tom Hanks.
A family-friendly attraction, Museum of Selfies features iconic photo opportunities, such as the mind-blowing Upside-Down room, the joyful Emoji Pool, the optical illusioned-filled Bathroom Selfie and many more. The newest location in Las Vegas also includes the Private Jet Experience, an installation built to give all visitors the chance to plunge themselves into the world of luxury.
