Hello all,
I am one of those that have taken pictures of artwork in museums before. I
asked one of the guards if it was okay, and she said that it was perfectly
okay for private (ie, no intention of selling the prints of the picture)
use. I took some of the pictures because of my interests in researching
medieval and renaissance costuming. I was more interested in taking close
ups of the blackwork (embroidery) or other details than in a full scale
photo. I do print of these close ups, particularly of trim details and
embroidery, so that I can accurately recreate it away from the computer
screen. I doubt this is what comes to mind for most people when they are
thinking of copyrights.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
