Dear All,

Can anyone provide me with legal and/or ethical guidelines to prevent the general public or visiting professionals from photographing objects on display and then publishing these images in a scholarly publication without written permission from or credit to the exhibiting institution?  I am interested in both legal codes and case studies.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Tim
