What is of actual concern is not one or a few museums having restrictions, but a general pattern of museums and governments imposing a vision of museums as monopolistic capitalist companies rather than as means of spreading culture.

Clearly, some people able to take decision see museums making money as an end, rather than as a mean to accomplish an end of educating the public. To enforce this vision (on which there is no public debate), they take decisions which effectively negate the benefits of the Berne Convention for the general public.

You can see this sort of trends in Egypt, Italy, France, United Kingdom and elsewhere.

THIS is a reason to be concerned all right.
