Museums are kinda weird this way. The Phoenix Art Museum for instance has no photograph what so ever of the portrait of the dress I am recreating..you'd think they'd photograph everything just for insurance purposes. I'd contact the museum. Often, they will photograph the article if you

Hi, Yes you are right, i went to the museums website and they do have a photographer there, but i would have to pay him, and that would be expensive. Perhaps i could travel to Gotland for the same money. I got the feeling that the museum would not mind me photographing the stays. These stays

Goodness Gracious but I seem to be putting out a lot of grumpy posts lately. Museums and many collections make the money to allow them to be open at all from public donations, a tax stipend, or ticket sales. All of these come out of the public pocket. Those who will not allow a member of that
