Hi Yann, I spoke with a friend who has been to the museum before. And then another journalist with FrenchTV is acquainted with you and your work with Ekta Parishad.

The differentiation is between Indian and foreign nationals, therefore you will be required to pay the usual fees for foreigners. This is for still photography only. > > 3.

Apparently, they have some conditions with regard to publication of pictures taken in the museum. Every picture should be tagged with "Courtesy: National Museum, New Delhi" and three copies of the published work must be placed with the museum. Gautam, are there restrictions by copyright law on publishing pictures of art-work available in publicly-accessible galleries? [We did have a discussion on this with Pranesh at the last Bangalore Wikipedia meetup].
