Life is imitating art to the fullest at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the current home to one variation of Edvard Munch's famous painting The Scream. Hyperallergic has compiled a collection of Instagram, Flickr, and Twitter photos that showcase visitors striking a pose next to the classic — some of whom offer a more accurate representation than others. Whether or not this is considered the highest form of flattery or an act of disrespect to the artist is entirely up to you.
