"I am a dedicated people watcher who loves to see art and art watchers watching. Museums provide irrisistible visual feasts of science, history, art on canvas, in sculpture, in buildings that are themselves art. Blending with displays, spectators provide the human scale, thinking, judging, having fun, feeding sensibilities. It all makes fine hunting for a furtive photographer on the prowl."
"A non-profit making, permanent institution in the service of society and open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates, and exhibits, for the purposes of study, education, and enjoyment, material evidence of man and his environment."
This is a group for all kinds of museums, inside or outside, but providing their human scale, like Elliott Erwitt says " It's about art and people who watch museum art" . Therefore, please avoid pictures of detail - this group is about photos including people and the museum's environment.
Remember to follow each museum`s rules about photographs: if you post an interior shot here, you assume responsibility for taking that picture there!
Please, do not post photos by others (that means no scanned postcards, for instance) and limit posts to ONE per day. If you have shots that are part of a set (and are very similar in content), please bring only one picture from the set to the group.
The site can be fun and all sorts of museums are fine, but please tell where the museum is. Also try to give a link to the museum your picture is from.
We administer the images posted to this group pool to make sure they adhere to the direction we'd like it to take, so please do not take offense to any image uploaded here being deleted....
We invite you to appreciate and enjoy the pictures of the other members of this group. Please, chose your best pictures. Post here only the ones you are proud of.
