"No Photographs Inside Museums" Top 5 Page for this destination Ohio Warnings Or Dangers Tip by deecat

It is discouraging sometimes when going into museums where taking photographs is not allowed. That happened several times on our trip. The time that it upset me the most was in Canton and "The First Ladies Library and Historic Site". There were so many beautiful items that I wanted to take pictures of. When I walked into the place, I did not see a sign; thus, I snapped the picture you see of the First Ladies gowns. Oh, boy, did I receive a tongue lashing.

Of course I indicated how sorry I was, but I was watched closely thereafter.

I then asked why that was a rule, and, to my surprise, I discovered that the insurance insurance companies forbid it. They are afraid that if people take photographs of these valuable items, then thieves will be "in the know". I can see the point.

I hope this warning tip has enlightened you as to the reasons. It was a lesson learned for me.
