MoMA, Van Gogh Starry Night, Selfie Stick Culture
A report from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) describes crowds of tourists using selfie sticks to photograph themselves in front of Van Gogh's "Starry Night." The hosts lament the shift in museum culture where visitors focus more on their own image than the artwork itself. They call for stricter bans on selfie sticks to protect the art and improve the experience for other patrons.
