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!
