The word “Doppelganger” is a German derivative, that translates to “double goer”, and is a word used to describe face-doubles and lookalikes of people. It’s only natural that appearances would run in the family. However, doppelgangers are people that share no relation, but somehow share a face! Doppelgangers have been included in folklore and myths, as well as spread across the animal kingdom. These 20 people chanced upon their doppelgangers in museums, showing that faces can be shared throughout history (or that time travel is real), giving these painted people a second go at the present!
