Museums and Galleries: Copyright
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with representatives from national museums sponsored by her Department on the issue of copyright on photographic reproductions of paintings, prints and drawings in the collections of those museums; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Decisions about image reproduction, reproduction fees, and related copyright, are operational matters for the national museums as arm’s length bodies of government. As such, we do not hold data on the amount of income raised by image fees.
Details of the process for requesting permission to reproduce images can be found on the respective websites of the national museums.
