We have received occassional such requests.  There's not much we can do
about another site linking to ours.  However, we charge a fee for
reproduction of images from our collection and even then, if an image is
used in someone else's website, they must credit us.

We do, by-the-way, sell imges to magazines (credit required in
publications), and many local enterprises that enlarge and frame them for
interior decorating purposes.  We ask for credit to be given but can't
always enforce that.

Subject:        Permission to use photos on website

Has anyone else ever received a request to use a picture of your museum's
exhibits on a non-museum-related website? The visitor would like permission
to photograph our exhibits and to use the photos on his website. We have
photos of the exhibits we are willing to share with him, but I'd like to
see
another institution's permission forms to see how this is handled.

Thank you for any help you can give.
