Are pictures and videos allowed in the Museum?

The Museum does not have a license to photograph and distribute images; therefore, photography, videography, and voice recordings are strictly prohibited in the galleries of the Museum, including the Lunch Counter. Guests, however, may take pictures and videos in the lobby area.
