Hi Willem,
Isn't that an inconvenience? I became very adept at 'sneaking' pictures in Doge's Palace (the docents can't be everywhere at once
)... There are many perfectly reasonable explanations to taking photographs when in a museum - not just for future reference, but if an exhibit is aesthetically pleasing or demonstrates an appreciable display solution, or as a simple memento of seeing an exhibit you may never get to visit again...
In lieu of taking photographs, provided a museum publishes a quality catalog of a given collection, I will pick up a copy. But a poor-quality catalog is a poor substitute for the capabilities of a photographer armed with even an average point-an-shoot camera...
