Belgium: no flash or tripods when taking photos in museums
Do
- Personal photos without flash are generally allowed, except where marked
- Flash, lights and tripods need the museum's prior written permission
- Keep your distance from the works, as signed in each museum
- Eat and drink only in the museum café or restaurant
Don’t
- Don't touch exhibits or lean on walls and display cases
- Don't use photos or videos commercially
- Don't film staff so they can be identified (Musea Brugge)
Ignoring staff instructions can get you asked to leave immediately, and the police may be called if you refuse (KMSKA rules). Safe distances differ: at least 30 cm at Musea Brugge, 60 cm at KMSKA in Antwerp and 1 m at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts in Brussels.
