On-site Policies

Photography

Photography for personal, noncommercial use is permitted in the museum’s permanent collection galleries but is not permitted in temporary exhibition galleries or for special loans to the museum. You will find a sign at the gallery door or on the object label if photography is not allowed. If you're not sure, ask a security officer.

With the exception of professional photographers escorted by DAM staff, cameras must be handheld and no flash photography or tripods are allowed.
