Why are photographs forbidden in the exhibition hall?

When we visit museums or some art galleries, we will see an obvious sign "No Photographing". But why is it forbidden to take pictures? Some people say it's to protect the exhibits. What is the truth?

First of all, in all museums or exhibition halls, there are two attitudes about whether you can take pictures:

No photos.

Museums or exhibition halls with "No Photographing" regulations prohibit not only photographing, but also photography and video recording. Why make such a rule? The first thing to consider is the protection of intellectual property rights, because their collections are mainly works of art, and these exhibits are mainly calligraphy, paintings, murals, works of art and so on.

Secondly, another important reason why visitors are not allowed to take photos in the exhibition hall is the sale of exhibits derivatives. Part of the profits of the exhibition hall are obtained by selling derivatives. If the exhibits are leaked through photos or video materials, there will be many replicas on the market.

No flashing is allowed.

Museums and exhibition halls with "no flash" regulations are allowed to take pictures, but it is forbidden to turn on the flash when taking pictures, but it is generally not allowed to take pictures. Consider cultural relics protection, and then consider intellectual property protection. Museums that make this provision are mainly due to their rich and varied exhibits, such as the Palace Museum in China, which is the representative of such museums.
