🤳🏻 June 21 is National Selfie Day across the world! Taking a selfie is undoubtedly the most common form of self-portrait but getting the perfect shot while visiting a museum can pose a danger to artworks. Earlier this year, Hiscox Insurance warned of the damages caused by visitors walking backwards into valuable artworks. As Artnet reported at the time, the phenomenon has even been dubbed “a pandemic of selfies". High-profile incidents include a selfie-taker smashing a Yayoi Kusama pumpkin at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington and a visitor who lost their balance at the pop-up gallery 14th Factory in Los Angeles, causing a domino effect that knocked over $200,000 worth of artworks. Taking selfies is now a strong concern for art institutions, like the British Museum, who are putting stricter protective measures in place. 👉 Read more more at: https://lnkd.in/dNfjDaac

They are letting this happen... "Since July 2022, the National Gallery alone has been the #victim of five separate #attacks on #iconic #paintings such as Vincent van Gogh's #Sunflowers, John Constable's The #Haywain and Velázquez’s #Rokeby #Venus. Such attacks have caused physical #damage to the #artworks, distress to #visitors and #staff alike, and disruption to our collective #mission to ensure #greatart and #artefacts are available for everyone, everywhere to enjoy. Two of these attacks have happened in the last two weeks, and that is why we have decided now is the moment for us to speak out. Our #UK #museums and #galleries are an integral part of #society, where #freeaccess allows everyone to be #inspired by humanity’s greatest #achievements." #artgallery #artislife #artist #creativity #arthistory #heritagetreasures #heritagebuilding #heritagetourism #heritageconservation #culture #culturalheritage #societyandculture #politics #war #history #historymatters #historyfacts #historylovers #historymakers #historylesson #culturalawareness #extremists #civilliberties #extinctionrebellion #environmentprotection #leftwingbias #cancelculture #cancel #woke #wokery #freedomofexpression #freedom #freespeech #censorship #violence #incompetence #environmentalprotection #climatechange #economy #taxpayers #nationalsecurity #vincentvangogh #vangogh #masterpiece #art #donations #donationswelcome #publictrust #publicopinion #trustworthiness #publicfinance https://lnkd.in/etV2rZQy
