Lots going on in this photo. I, too, love museums that allow cameras. I have a running argument each year with my friends in Santa Fe re. the prohibition of cameras in their museums. So far, neither side have convinced the other of each preference.
It's farcical for museums to ban cameras. I can go along with prohibiting cameras in special exhibitions but not in a general collection.
Everyone has a camera in their phone and it's impossible for any museum to prevent their use.
Ironically, some of the museums that ban cameras collect images made by photographers who would take the very images prohibited by the museum. Many museums are architectural landmarks in their own right and it's natural for people to want to photograph them.
National Galleries in Canada and the U.S. permit cameras while other much less significant galleries prohibit them. There are a mish-mash of policies.
Great pic! It bugs me too - it's not like you are going home to copy it and if no flash is used no damage occurs. I have heard many stories of craftspeople who have had pics of their work taken at shows and have then found repros of their work that have been made off-shore and are for sale at places like Walmart.
I think it's the flash that they won't allow, more than the camera itself...the flash can be damaging to the work. There might be some proprietary concerns too, on the part of the artist, but I think it all started because of the automatic flash...

Obviously, the banning of cameras bugs me. :-)
