even with no camera is rude to stop on stairs esp in a high traffic place, like an art museum

There’s nothing to indicate that this woman is deliberately doing anything. She’s checking her phone.

She glances at it and then goes on to do what she was doing. Why should she know what is going on as she minds her own business and goes about her day?

It’s reality. Learn to live in it.

I don’t think it’s deliberate, but it is rude & potentially hazardous to stop in the middle of a public staircase. She’s blocking the mode of egress.

This is Invararay Castle and the old woman is actual on a shallow landing. Maybe not the best place for her to pause, but people here are pretending like phone use in inappropriate places is not a complete constant. One might also point to the young woman trying to use this staircase for a “photo shoot” in precisely the same sense, btw.

It would be so cute if the older woman was waiting for the younger one to ask for her help in taking a photo

In art museums you are not allowed to take pictures.

Which one have you been to? I'd like to look up the policy.

A really common example is the Louvre Museum, you are allowed to take the picture of the Mona Lisa as long as there’s no flashes

What kind of art museums are you visiting?

u/KaleidoscopeMaster81 Aug 30 '26

Lately? Worcester Art Museum, Boston Museum of Art, Fitchburg Art Museum. What about you? What art museum around you allows photography inside?

A lot of the local art museums have let people take photos. Guess I haven’t been to one that doesn’t allow it.

Same here. In my city it's actually quite common to go to the local art museum for a photo shoots and such (actual photo shoots with the real camera not just people propping up their phones for a selfie lol)

Local art museums I can see having different and more lenient rules for sure.

u/masterlince Aug 30 '26

You are in most of them, just no flash.
