About The Gallery

Belgium's first-ever Instagram museum, Smile Safari, opened it's doors this week. The museum, which opened its doors for the first time on October 2 will go on till the end of November. The museum's website boasts that Smile Safari isn't, "just any museum, but an adventure along optical illusions, pink palm trees, rainbows and so much more. We join forces with artists and designers to make it unforgettable." In an interview with the Brussels Times, Hannes Coudenys, the founder of Smile Safari, said that he got the idea while travelling in the United States, and thought that if there wasn't such a museum in Belgium, he'd make one!
