Do the British Museum have a reason?

Do the British Museum have a reason?

Last time I visit British Museum, i does allow take photo... maybe some issue on China side?

[oldgit]

[chuckles]

Do the British Museum have a reason?

Yeah..... it's in London! Everyone and his dog is trying to get everyone else to stop taking photographs anywhere in London ..... Grrrrr! :bonk::bang:

where it says

I was going to go to the museum over the Xmas period to try and get some good shots, and saw the warning on their website saying no cameras allowed.

How come you are allowed to take pictures in Hong Kong, but not London?

[Alex S]

Definetely #1 for me too, its a winner :clap:

[NorthernNikon]

Nice :)

No photography was allowed in Xian when I went to see them in China. Mind you, that didn't stop the hoards of Chinese and other tourists snapping away so so did I. I really must scan my travel shots in sometime.

Yep #1 for me also, he even seems to have a cheeky look on his face. :)

Because they are fake, but those in London are REAL :lol:

[admirable]

No1 is a cracker!

[asab]

Could it be because the museum wants you to buy their pictures instead of you takng your own (which would probably be better)?

[mmcp42]

is it just my imagination or is #1 modelled on Baldrick?

[kfridge]

no1 could almost be a scene from Dr. Who - the Terracotta Invasion! :D
