Museums ban selfie sticks


 










The Museum of Modern Art in New York is the latest to ban the extendable device, which allow users to hold their phones far away to take group pictures.
The clampdown follows a similar ruling against the selfie stick by the Cooper-Hewitt and SmithsonianDesignMuseum.
A spokesman for the museum said: "‘You can, just by looking at (it) imagine the havoc a selfie stick might wreak in this kind of space."
"‘They could pose a danger to visitors or our objects on view."
Other museums that have banned the gadget  - dubbed "the wand of narcissus" - include the National Gallery of Art, The Smithsonian and the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington DC.
