Art World Abstracts: Museums Ban Selfie Sticks Amid Much Controversy, and More!

If you were planning on using your brand new selfie stick to take that perfect selfie at the Met in front of the Temple of Dendur, well, you're in for a rather rough surprise—the institution has banned selfie sticks. It's just one of the many museums which have up and decided that such implements are not welcome. Let's here note that this story was on the front page of The New York Times, as this is a change in protocol as important as matters of national security. And so now, selfie-obsessed art lovers will have to take selfies the old fashioned way. Wait, how? Like, with an outstretched arm? Do we remember taking selfies before selfie sticks? I know, it's tough for me to recall, too.
