OLIVIA MUUS WENT to the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen with a friend. For the laugh, she made a painting take a selfie.

The result was a bit great.

Then, she started doing it with more and more paintings.

Muus writes: “[I] liked how this simple thing could change their character and give their facial expression a whole new meaning.”

She now runs a Tumblr, Museum of Selfies, where people are encouraged to submit their own. It’s really great.
