When photographing, do keep in mind copyright issues, freedom of panorama, etc. which pertain to us. We also need a good way of batch uploading photographs afterwards. I had problems with the various software tools, and still have some to upload.
Should have sent this here too :-)

Subject: Museums that allow photography, e.g. V&A
To: wikimediauk-l@wikimedia.org
I went to the V&A last week and took photos of everything I could,
which I really should upload some time sooner rather than later. In
fact, I want a better camera for low light just to do the V&A.
Their photo policy is "feel free", just don't use a flash and don't be
a nuisance. There are a limited number of exhibitions they ask for no
photography in (there's the Design in China one at the moment, for
example), but mostly you can take pics of anything.
So - apart from those of you with cameras that are good in low light
photographing every damn thing to be found in the entire V&A ...
1. Do we have a list of photographer-friendly museums?
2. (the biggie) How do we thank V&A for their openness? And how do we
do it in such a way as to encourage *other* museums to open their
collections up to free content photography? I'm thinking talking to
them and working out a joint press release.
Has anyone here gone hogwild with a camera in UK museums? Do please tell!
- d.
