Do you have, and if not, do you think it would be valuable to create, a document listing the status of various cultural institutions in the NYC area according to their photographic and other policies that have bearing on free-culture? Perhaps that might be a good pilot project for the free-culture alliance??

The web site you link to says that they are already maintaining (or starting) such a list, at least for photographs. This could be the basis of a separate database.
From your link:
"This is great news. Inspired by MAD, I have decided to start a running list of New York museums that allow photography in their galleries. The following museums allow photography:
* Metropolitan Museum of Art (link) * Museum of Modern Art * Museum of Arts & Design * Rubin Museum of Art (link)
Institutions that Do NOT Allow Photography:
* The Frick Collection * Guggenheim Museum * International Center of Photography * Neue Galerie * New Museum (with the exception of the current Free exhibition) * Whitney Museum of American Art
If you know of other institutions that should be added to our growing list, let us know. We’ve keeping a running list that will periodically update here: hyperallergic.com/photopolicy.
