Instagram is practically an extreme sport. You jump through hoops to find the trendiest location, get the best lighting and take the perfect photo. Did you know places exist where you can do all those easily?
Welcome to the world of pop-ups!
Pop-up exhibits have infiltrated our Instagram feeds. You’ve probably heard of some like the Museum of Ice Cream or the Happy Place. Ball pits, selfie thrones, and gravity-defying art are only a sliver of what’s to come.
If you didn’t get a chance to visit those, don’t worry! We got you covered with a list of some of our favorites for you to visit.

“Wait, wait! Don’t eat yet, let me take a picture first.”
You’ve probably heard those words at some point in your life. If not, it’s probably you who’ve said them. The Foodie Space, an interactive pop-up exhibit in Pasadena, blends the world of food and photography into one. Local artists created massive sculptures of popular dishes ranging from pizza, pho, burgers and more for your pure enjoyment. Take a photo in a can of caviar. Hug a giant box of french fries. Pose with some dim sum. The photo ops are endless! You definitely don’t want to miss out on this one-of-a-kind space. Better act soon because they’re closing up shop on February 17!

Finally. A place where selfie aficionados can unite or selfie amateurs can learn. Put those skills to the test and head on over to the Museum of Selfies in Los Angeles! Play around in an interactive gallery with selfie-inspired installations. Learn about the history of how the selfie came about. Take as many selfies as you can. In fact, selfie sticks are not only welcomed but highly encouraged. The Museum of Selfies was such a hit that it landed a permanent home on Hollywood Blvd. Drop by for some social media-worthy content!
