Video: French Ministry of Culture

Regular readers will know that AHN is not only an advocate of allowing photography in museums, but also abolishing reproduction fees. So it's good news from France, where (as La Tribune de l'Art tells us) the French culture ministry has declared that photography is allowed in all museums, and you can use the images for whatever you like (within the law). The ministry has published a five point code of conduct (sensible things like no flash, and don't get in other people's way), and there's even a zippy video (above). The DCMS should do the same here in the UK.
