Who doesn’t love capturing the perfect selfie? Luckily, Austin is full of fantastic spots to take amazing pictures of yourself. Here are some of our top picks for flexing your inner photographer in the ATX:
- Texas Selfie Museum
- Located at 503 Neches Street
The Texas Selfie Museum is undoubtedly Austin’s “Garden of Instagram.” The museum boasts 35 installation spaces spread across two floors, complete with all the props, lighting, and backdrops necessary for some epic selfies. There are even photo assistants available to help you capture your best angles.
- “You’re My Better Half”
This iconic Austin mural is situated on the side of United Way of Greater Austin at 2000 East Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard. Visitors can snap as many pictures as they want, and there’s even a phone holder set up at the perfect distance from the mural to help make capturing the perfect shot a breeze.
- “Hi! How Are You?”
This beloved image is located off Guadalupe Street, situated on the University of Texas’s Drag. Created by Austin’s very own Daniel Johnston in 1993, the mural reminds locals of simpler times and visitors of the city’s quirky past.
“I Love You So Much”
The well-known “I Love You So Much!” mural, which can be found outside Jo’s Coffee on 1300 South Congress Avenue, was created by Amy Cook for her lover Liz Lambert (the proprietor of Jo’s Coffee). Couples and families now fly to Austin from all over the world to shoot selfies and drink Iced Turbos at Jo’s Coffee.
The songs “You Belong Among The Wildflowers” and “Greetings from Austin”
The S 1st & Annie Street junction offers a “selfie two-for-one.” The “Greetings from Austin” mural can be found on the exterior of Roadhouse Relics, a noteworthy gallery of modern neon art. “You Belong Among The Wildflowers,” a mural based on the Tom Petty song “Wildflowers,” is located directly across the street from the mural that was inspired by postcards.
