The Controversial Nature Of Cameras In Museums


 
Travel & Tourism
You might see no problem in taking a simple photograph in a museum but you would be surprised to find how much politics goes into the policies of museums regarding picture taking. Whether your goal is to take a picture as a keepsake from a once in a life time vacation or a commercial endeavor, it is essential that you do your home work and find out if the museum destination you are visiting allows bringing cameras into the establishment.

Cameras & Museums can be a volatile subject, especially when discussed with employees of the museum. Some museums have no problem with you bringing your photography equipment in, whereas others have a strict no camera policy. The situation is even more serious when you attempt to bring a tripod with you. Many of these museums will have a large detailed sign in the lobby that stipulates the ins and outs of their policy. If the museum does not allow cameras, you will most likely be asked to deposit your photography equipment at the coat check.

If there is not a strict cameras & museums rule guide, and you manage to bring your photography equipment into the museum without having to go through a brief employee search procedure, you still may encounter some hostility among the personnel when trying to take a picture. More often than not one of the museum employees will approach you and begin to ask you a series of questions, inquiring about your intentions of use for the pictures that you take.

Because of the intensive policies and the likelihood that they encounter individuals taking pictures on a daily basis, the personnel might act slightly hostile and condescending in their questioning. Keep in mind that the employees are not police officers and you are not obligated to answer their questions. The only legal course of action they can take is to have you removed from the premises for trespassing. Hopefully it will not come to this conclusion, but it can be avoided by generally explaining your intention of using the photos for private enjoyment.

Part of the concern of the museums is that flash photography will damage the art. Their other concern about cameras & museums, is that your intentions may be to publish your photos and they do not want to risk losing any sort of financial profit from the photographs. When you talk to a museum employee, do your best to be friendly and non-confrontational. It’s a lot more difficult to be hostile or rude to someone if they are nice and have a smile on their face.

It would not be lying to say you originally intended to take private photos then decided to sell them after the fact. But if you want to avoid any sort of scenario regarding cameras & museum confrontation, take the time to do the research of the museum’s policies. You can always make a phone call and ask for special authorization and if they have a nice public relations division, they may actually grant it to you. Also remember to look online and search for vouchers, because many museums offer vouchers on the internet.
