Milwaukee is a city that never fails to delight.
One of the latest trends to hit the city is the rise of ‘selfie museums’ – interactive art installations that provide the perfect backdrop for capturing the ultimate Instagram-worthy shot.
But these museums aren’t just for adults – they’re a hit with families and kids too!
Selfie museums offer an immersive and visually captivating experience that is unlike anything kids have likely encountered before.
These museums are designed with vibrant, interactive installations, whimsical backdrops, and eye-catching props, creating a magical and photogenic environment that appeals to tweens’ sense of wonder and exploration.
Selfie museums provide kids and tweens with a creative outlet to express themselves and showcase their individuality.
The various themed rooms and installations encourage them to pose, experiment with angles, and express their personality through imaginative photography. You’ll have fun curating your own narratives, telling stories and capturing moments that reflect their unique style and interests.
In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the best selfie museums in Milwaukee that families and kids will love, and give you some tips on how to make the most of your visit.
