Selfie Museums – Where Are They?
The concept of a selfie museum isn’t new. There are selfie museums all over the country that have opened in the past few years, including two others in and around the Queen City.
Picture Project CLT is black-owned and opened their doors over a year ago. There is a selfie museum in Concord, and was called the Original Home of the 90’s. The museum has had quite the upgrade. It is now a 3800 square foot space that includes over 40 areas of wall to wall 90’s designs. Its website says they all are hand painted by local artists! And finally, there is the Candid Selfie Museum in Mt. Holly. It closed its doors last November.
