Duh. Of course. Why do you think I would think otherwise? It is, however a very usual practice, which is why I find photography in museums unusual enough to ask for a clarification.
- itp 10y agoThat seems like an unnecessarily hostile response. Even if you already knew that, other people reading the conversation might not have known it. There's no call to interpret a declarative statement as a personal attack, or implication that your knowledge was in some fashion lacking.
- ghaff 10y agoIn my experience, allowing photography in museums isn't "unusual." I would have said it's more common than not. When it's not allowed in busy museums, I also wonder if one reason isn't to discourage people blocking foot traffic and otherwise getting in the way because they need their fiftieth selfie portrait of the day.
