Tonights Watches (from the British Museum, to make Grumpyguy discombobulated...)

light can degrade some pigments - so no flash
too many idiots don't know how to shut flash off so the simple solution is no cameras.

selfie idiots

gift shop sales of photgraphs

those seem to be the top reasons for no phottography


for a while when phone cameras were pretty lousy photos they turned a blind eye to phones cameras while strictly prohibiting single purpose cameras
that doesn't seem to be the case any more

I've also had to pay a 'paparazzi' fee which allowed me to photograph but with no flash.

I think some of the push is from museum goers who would prefer not to be annoyed by any kind of cameras
