Used to be that you could not take photos of the artwork without a special permission… but now, most galleries within the museums allow it – just NO FLASH. I was stopped few times in certain rooms by the guard in Guggenheim and MOMA – but … otherwise, photo taking was allowed if using a cellphone – apparently not, if I were to pull out a professional quality camera.
I believe art at Metropolitan is now available on online-library free to all. Yes, click here – it’s available. But to walk into the same physical space as the object of your admiration is … again, kind of like online yoga class vs. real yoga class. Vibration vs. not… Nevertheless, it’s available wherever you are near, or far. It’s wonderful:) Spreading art appreciation…
