When you go to some of the museums, check first if they allow tripods. Most of
the ones in the New York area don't.

:museums in Europe with a Canon AE-1 programmable. If possible, get a
:camera quick and go to a local museum to "practice". Develop the film
:and see how you did. You'll learn alot. A good digital camera is
:another good idea, but more expensive.

:P.S. Put the camera and film in your carry-on luggage if you're flying.
: The xray machines for checked luggage will ruin film, new or used.
:The less powerful machines for carry-on luggage won't hurt it.
