Photography in the Museum
Photography is allowed under the following conditions:
- Photographs are allowed of the permanent collection only.
- The UMFA allows you to take photos only of works it owns. Please check with
the information desk for a photograph release form.
- No flash (the light is very damaging to artwork).
- No tripods or large camera bags (bulky equipment may damage artwork).
Sketching in the Museum
We welcome classes and individuals who would like to sketch objects on display in the UMFA galleries. Please help the UMFA staff and security officers to insure the safely of the artwork and create the least interruption by keeping the following policies:
-
Groups of ten or more should schedule times for sketching to avoid conflicts with other tours or special programs. Call Education at 801-581-3580 to schedule a time.
-
Only dry media are allowed in the galleries: pencil, chalk, charcoal, and chalk pastels. Greasy media is not allowed in the UMFA. Grease marks cannot be removed easily without damaging the surface. Please, no pens, markers, ink or paint.
-
A plastic drop cloth (trash bag) should be used to collect powdery chalk "fall-out" and pencil shavings.
-
Do not lean against gallery walls or on pedestals when drawing. Folding chairs are available at the information desk.
