You probably go on a vacation not planning on visiting a museum, but sometimes it really intrigues you. There might be a special display theme going on, or a specific artist that you've always appreciated. Why not learn about getting the best photographs in a museum setting?
Some museums don't even allow cameras, so call ahead to be sure. Besides, those that do probably invest quite a bit in lighting, so using your flash wouldn't really help your photograph much. And, although they might allow cameras, they might not allow flash, anyways.
The best photographs would also come from the best film for the display room and its architecture. Skylights and windows light some rooms naturally, so a daylight film would be best and provide very natural colours. Tungsten-balanced film is best if the main lighting is from tungsten fixtures otherwise the colours would be too warm in your photograph.
Paintings are not as easy to shoot effectively with a camera, so opt for the postcards and posters of those. Therefore,the best subjects to photograph in museums are sculptures, fossils and skeletons, and room views of nearly entire rooms.
Another thing you must remember in museums is that there are many others around who would like to see the displays as well, maybe even photographers themselves. Try to respect the privacy and concentration of the many people who are deeply engrossed in the subjects and those who are studying them in great detail. Work as quickly and quietly as possible.
