Russell Cotes Museum, Bournemouth. 'Sorry you can't take photos here'. Er...why not? Copyright, light damage from the flash etc. Has intermittent light damage from flash photography been proven in a scientific study I wonder? Many museums cite this as an excuse, but where is the evidence? I thought that in these access, inclusion, 'get those collections on line' times that we would be seeking to celebrate the fact that someone wants to photograph and share our wonderful objects. If I still ran a museum i'd want to be 'down with the kids' (to quote Billy Black in Twilight) and all of those who embrace this fantastic digital world so that they can spread the fame of my collections worldwide. Or am I wrong?
