I started to work with one Fin-tech startup. They have their office in the Mall of Scandinavia. So, they called a meeting at their quick office, which was inside the Mall of Scandinavia. As usual I was there before time. I took the coffee and sat down beside a big window in the waiting area. I saw one shop in front of this office. I was trying to understand actually what product or services they are offering.
And at that moment the person I was supposed to meet today came, and after seeing my curiosity he said, I don't know how they can survive in this expensive shopping mall with this new concept, they have built 13 rooms inside where people can take selfies. It was enough to grab my attention. After the meeting I checked the Youseum website and social media. I have never ever visited this kind of museum before, so it was really hard to understand this unique concept but I was excited to surprise my family.
Next weekend we were there, after paying the entry fee there was one locker room where you can put your jackets and other stuff, and after that we finally entered the first room. The selfie is one of the most popular social media topics these days. But I was surprised that its popularity can lead to the creation of a museum dedicated to the selfie!
It was so much fun! The museum has an interactive theme where you can take selfies with props around the room. It's a great place to take photos with friends or family and share your memories together.
If you're in the mood for a fun day out and want to do something different, then you should check out Youseum Selfie Museum in the Mall of Scandinavia, Stockholm.
I will highly suggest you use your own camera or mobile camera because their cameras are not well positioned.
Actually, I was surprised! How is it possible that a museum dedicated to selfies had almost all of their cameras disordered? Only room number 1 and 2 were working that day.
All cameras were tightened in a box so you can’t pan or zoom in and zoom out as you want, and placement of the camera was not good, as it was capturing the area which you don't want to show, like floor and roof.
Default flash light was annoying and it was destroying the whole photo environment.
You can't make boomerang or reel short videos, their cameras are only for still photos.
It could be more interesting if we could have photo filters in it.
In conclusion, it was an interesting experience and we have a lot of selfies now!
If you're ever in Stockholm and want to take a selfie, this is the place to do it!
