Jan 20, 2016 is International Museum Selfie Day.

Visitors and museum staff are encouraged to snap a photo of themselves in front of their favourite collections.

Museum Specialist Kathy Coutts says there is a day for everything, so why not a day for taking selfies at the museum?

"Even the mannequins were getting in on the selfies today," says Coutts.

Coutts says they are encouraging people to come and stop by the museum.

"Come take a picture with your favourite exhibit or artifact and share it on Instagram and Twitter using #museumselfie."

The Okotoks Museum and Archives is open until 5 p.m.
