Hungary: no flash, tripods or selfie sticks when taking photos in museums
Do
- With a ticket you may take photos and videos for personal use
- Check backpacks, umbrellas and oversized bags in the free cloakroom
- Carry small bags in your hand or on your front
- Some temporary exhibitions ban photography; follow the signs at the entrance
- Silence your phone and avoid loud calls
Don’t
- Don't use flash, monopods, tripods or selfie sticks
- Don't wear a bag of any size on your back in the galleries
- Don't eat or drink in the galleries; a small clear bottle of still water may be drunk only outside the exhibition areas
- Don't touch the exhibits
The cloakroom is compulsory, so you cannot take a backpack into the galleries; staff will stop rule-breakers. Rules vary between museums; follow each museum's regulations, such as those of the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, and the signs on site.
