>>Martin's reply is correct, but applies only to photos taken since 1989.
>>The rules regarding ownership of images taken before 1989 are far more
>>complex. It is worth saying that museums and the like are perfectly
>>entitled to have their own regulations about the taking of photographs on
>>their premises. If the regulation is you may not take photos, and
>>nonetheless you do so, you still own the copyright in the "illicit"
>>photograph, but you might find yourself banned forever from visiting the
>>museum again.

>>The best source of info in this field is not a Web site, but a good old
