The Belvedere Gallery in Vienna is to be congratulated on its “Selfie Kiss” (Museums gear up for the selfie generation, 3 May). When I visited several years ago, Klimt’s painting was difficult to appreciate among the throng of visitors. Last year, a sign pointed to the Selfie Kiss room, where dozens of visitors took turns to take selfies against a copy, leaving the real thing to be admired by a significantly smaller number.

• People looking for companionship in a new city or town (Tinder for chums, 5 May) would benefit greatly from joining a party or group that campaigns for something close to their heart, or by volunteering for an organisation that does worthwhile work. They will soon find their free-time hours filled with meaningful activity, alongside like-minded new friends. And there is no need to feel embarrassed.
