- Many museums do allow legitimate researchers to use flash photography,
- even for books and textiles. While the light from a flash is intense,
- it is also very brief, so the damage isn't great as long as the item
- isn't photographed too often. Plus, few museums have the money to
- pay a staff member to stand around and watch someone doing 15-minute
- time exposures.
