A morning with Instagram

Last week, I met a bunch of fun people at Statens Museum for Kunst. Some of them I knew already, that is we follow each other on Instagram, and it was fun meeting in real life as well. We had been invited to the museum by Instagram who allowed us into the massive building outside opening hours. Here, we had a private tour, photographed a lot (of course) and chatted about this and that. It was great having the museum to ourselves, locked gates opening up if we wanted to enter a room, and I felt very priviliged having been invited. Plus, looking at art is never dull! (All photos taken with my iPhone, naturally - my Instagram account is here.)
Kristen, who works for Instagram, had flown in from the US, and here she's bossing us around from the other side of a large hall, so she can photograph us.
The meeting between the old outer facade and the new add-on building is pretty marvellous.
Our guide was sweet and enthusiastic, and I digged her style!

Fedt! Det er da ikke lige alle, som får adgang til sådan ét museum efter lukketid :) Lidt nysgerrig men hvorfor var det netop lige dig og de andre, som blev inviteret af Instagram til denne event? - gætter mig til at I har noget til fælles :)

Ja, det var ret interessant og hyggeligt.
Tror, mange af os har @nana_ha til fælles - hun havde sørget for, at jeg blev inviteret, da hun lige havde mødt arrangøren Kristen i NYC. De andre var nogle af de store danske Instagrammere, og så var der nogen, der havde set det på Statens Museum for Kunsts egen Instagram-profil...

Ah tak for svaret! Jeg har faktisk ingen anelse om, hvem der er de store danske Instagrammere. Kræver nok at jeg snuser lidt mere rundt inde på Instagram - vil give det et forsøg :) God mandag!
