  1. They let you take photos in the museum? Sweet. Sometimes the museum workers can be tempered with flash photography. Great shot.

  2. Most museums let you photograph their antiquities without flash these days. Not that flash light would damage marble, but flashing marble heads yields awful results anyway.
