Why would you want to take a pic of yourself at a Museum anyway each to there own I suppose...but there's nothing wrong with taking a couple of pics of the museum though.
As a person with a fantastic memory who documents everything, I can guarantee you that people who don't take pictures don't retain nearly as many memories or as detailed of memories as those who document and reference them regularly. I remember better than anyone I know and I still forget a ton, but pictures keep the memories from fading as much.

I can understand taking pictures of major life events and family stuff, but I guess I just don't look back as much regarding vacations or other random stuff (I don't say that to be condescending). If I go to a concert I have moved on when I leave. I don't need to relive it on YouTube (as much as my screenname doesn't fit).
One could insert any other environment for museum.
If you see, you don't need a lens. Your eyes ARE the lens and your brain is the darkroom and subsequent vision.
Kind of like Nimoy's (somewhat) last words, about the garden, how it's fleeting even in bloom.
Enjoy it, inhale it, preserve the memory and let it embed itself into your brain.
All five horizons.
I will disagree to a point. I like to take photos (with film) so you just don't blast and erase, blast and erase, it is an art in itself. I would not have wanted to leave the grand canyon with just memories that were not on film. That said. I have never taken pictures in any science building, museum what not, and tried ONCE to take my camera to a PJ show to see "what all the fuss is about" and regretted having it with me three seconds into the show.
Good, quality, thought out pictures are for the mind that slowly loses memory!
I hear you, and put that in another realm...very different from taking - constantly, it seems - photos of oneself. Less narcissistic, I guess. And less intrusive upon others?
I wonder if, before cameras, people preserved their memories of events in other or stronger ways.
...oh, and to PJfan.
That is why we go to museums, to see how people preserved memories before cameras, silly.

I don't get the fascination with documenting everything.
They aren't documenting, they are constantly seeking validation.
Look at me at PJ concert. Look at me at Grand Canyon look at me look at me. LOOK AT ME I NEED VALIDATION AND ATTENTION!!!!
So amusing to see group of girls taking selfie after selfie to get that perfect fake smiling shot.

a friend passed last week, so I was looking back at photos of us and our friends, and it dawned on me.......this is pre-digital camera for me.......were the pictures full of perfect smiles and opened eyes? no, they were full of LIFE.

This. Sadly, "likes" and "followers" are all most people care about any more. People value their worth by numerical badges on their cell phone app icons.
That's pretty fuckin sweet! How can someone hate on a picture like that? It just gave me the idea to rig the handle of one of my trekking poles to hold my camera so I can take wide angle selfies of the wife and I on exposed summits.

There is nothing wrong with that selfie, in my opinion.
Why would you want to take a pic of yourself at a Museum anyway each to there own I suppose...but there's nothing wrong with taking a couple of pics of the museum though.
I have taken many pics in museums over the years... It's usually of something that interests me or that I know is so unique the chances of me seeing it again are minimal. And I have taken selfies reflected in interesting pieces....
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

It's just run of the mill narcissism. Not everyone does it. Obviously we only see what people ARE posting. It's not like we're alerted every time someone doesn't post the minutia of their life on Instagram and Facebook.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata
