While museums around the world are putting a lockdown on selfie sticks, a museum in the Philippines wants visitors to be part of the art on display.

Art in Island, located in a former bus station in Manila, capitalizes on the city's reputation as the Selfie Capital of the World with modified versions of famous works of art. The idea is for visitors to literally make themselves part of the picture.

Blyth Cambaya, corporate secretary of Art in Island, said, "Here, art paintings are not complete if you are not with them.. if you don't take pictures with them."

American tourist Jenna Eliel praised the museum's non-traditional approach.

"You have to be very serious in other museums. [In] this museum, you can really just let your goofy side out."
