Sam, Our official policy for general visitors is: ?Still photography for personal use is permitted in collection galleries only. No flash or tripods allowed. Videotaping is permitted in the lobby only. No photographs or videotapes may be reproduced, distributed, or sold without permission from the Museum.?
However, similar to what others are saying, due to the small size of personal video cameras/phones/etc I doubt that the restriction on video in the collection galleries is strictly enforced.

We have no intention of changing our policy concerning shepherding professional crews with major equipment around in the galleries... it's the explosion of personal use videos that we're addressing.
