21 Majestic Individuals Who Found Their Doppelgangers at the Museum

There's nothing quite like walking through an art museum and suddenly locking eyes with… yourself, but rendered in oil paint. For centuries, artists have immortalized kings, queens, scholars, and everyday people on canvas. But they never imagined that hundreds of years later, their subjects would have uncanny twins waltzing about in jeans and hoodies. It's eeries, hilarious, and magical enough to make you wonder if reincarnation is real.

People love spotting doppelgangers in the wild; there is even a subreddit where you can post a photo of yourself and dozens of internet strangers will find a celebrity that looks just like you! But there is something especially delightful about finding a look-alike hanging on the wall of a gallery, silently judging you with your own face. From smug nobles with the same smirk as their modern counterparts to Renaissance portraits that could double as someone's profile picture, these side-by-side pics prove that facial structure transcends time.

I've personally never been told that I look like a celebrity. These pics make me wonder if my doppelgagner isn't tucked away in some small town art museum.
