Sam, Since 95% of video is shot here by smartphones and small handheld cameras the answer is yes we allow it in the permanent collection galleries. Temporary exhibitions always come with their own set of permissions requirements. As far as a using tripods or lights, that must be pre-arranged with our Press Office and there are conservation and scheduling requirements. I can send you those offline.

Yes, that's the situation we're addressing. 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.

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.
