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
