"No professional photography of any sort is allowed in the Museum galleries without the permission from the curatoral staff. Photography for personal reference is allowed but, to help preserve the collections on display, we ask visitors not to use flash photography. High quality reproductions of key items from the exhibitions are available as postcards and prints from the Museum's shops."
This is their only reference to the photographer. Thus I was lured on a 250 mile drive, hotel cost and 32 pounds entrance fee. At the first exhibit I was stopped from entering and told "..no tripods allowed." I asked where this was displayed and the bottom of a poster was lifted revealing underneath what they were now saying. I got my 32 pounds back and left immediately. What a deceiptfull bunch.
They even said that no photography of any kind was allowed on the HMS Victory. Yet at its entrance was a sign saying "photography allowed but not at the portrait of the dying Nelson".
