Gallery Photography Policy

Still photography is permitted for private, noncommercial use only in the
Museum's galleries devoted to the permanent collection. Photographs cannot be
published, sold, reproduced, transferred, distributed, or otherwise
commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever. Photography is not permitted
in special exhibitions or areas designated as "No Photography"; works of art
on loan from private collections or other institutions may not be
photographed. The use of a flash is prohibited. Movie and video cameras are
prohibited. Tripods are allowed on weekdays only, and only with a permit
issued by the Information Desk in the Great Hall.
[snipped section about press photography]
The Museum reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to withhold and/or
withdraw permission to photograph on its premises or to reproduce photographs
of objects in its collection.
