Photography of the exterior of the house and grounds is permitted but must be for personal, non-commercial use only and cannot be reproduced, sold, exhibited or published in any form including electronically without written permission from the Curator. Museum interiors, including accessioned items, may not be photographed by the public at any time for any reason. The Museum owns all copyright to accessioned objects and the Curator will grant permission to reproduce images by special request. The intended use of reproduced images must clearly be stated upon initial request.
If existing photographs are not adequate, special photography may be requested. Once permission has been granted, all photography equipment and set-up must be cleared through the Curator as well. Approved photography and videotaping sessions may only take place before or after business hours or by special arrangement with the Curator. Appropriate staff shall be present during all approved photography and videotaping sessions and no photography is to ever take place off of Museum property without express permission by the Curator. The photographer assumes all liability and financial responsibility from injury, loss, or damage that may result from activities related to his/her photography.
All hard-copy published images from the Museum will include an appropriate credit line in the publication. Permission grants right to one-time publication use and the publisher will provide the Museum with a copy of the published work at no cost. Reproductions for other purposes, reprints, or future additional copies of the publication cannot be made without specific permission. No images will be authorized for use in perpetuity.
For images in digital formats, images must be accompanied by the appropriate credit line and will be authorized for Internet/Worldwide Web use for a period not to exceed one year.
