Flash is often discouraged or outright prohibited at museums as it is considered bad for pigments with prolonged frequent usage. Cameras have come a long way on light sensitivity an low-noise high ISO use. The real trick is shooting at the right color temperature for the lighting (since auto-white balance is still not very accurate in artificial light) or shooting in RAW files so that you can easily adjust it in post-production.
