Galleries and art openings have always provided great selfie opportunities, but as many local museums (notably the Orlando Museum of Art) have loosened up their no-photography rules, we’ve all stopped being surreptitious about our museum #artselfies. And since we don’t have to hide from the guards patrolling the galleries anymore, they’re so much better! Here are some of the most hilarious, glamorous, touching and beautiful photos of locals interacting with art we could find on Instagram.
