| I know they have a Wed-Fri tripod policy... does anyone know if they have any monopod restrictions? |

No info on their website:
Photography
Still photography is permitted for private, noncommercial use only in the Museum's galleries devoted to the permanent collection. Photographs cannot be published, sold, reproduced, transferred, distributed, or otherwise commercially exploited in any manner whatsoever. Photography is not permitted in special exhibitions or areas designated as "No Photography"; works of art on loan from private collections or other institutions may not be photographed. The use of flash is prohibited at all times and in all galleries. Movie and video cameras are prohibited. Tripods are allowed Wednesday through Friday, and only with a permit issued by the Information Desk in the Great Hall.
I wonder if their information line would help, or if you'll just get a recording?
Information: 212-535-7710

Looks like technology is going to make that harder to enforce. What's a camera and what's a video camera these days?

| From personal experience in the last 6 months of multiple visits for research on Rembrandt etc for my daughter and myself: no flash, certainly, and no cameras out in any special exhibitions. Tripods are certainly a no no. I know people who work at the met and can tell you that these rules are enforced for good reason too. |
