The Art of the Brick

I have never really been a museum-type of person, and "arts" is a word you would not associate me with. Half a day at Musée du Louvre was more than enough for me while people who appreciate the artworks and sculptures find a day insufficient to cover the huge grounds. The historic monument is after all one of the world's largest museum and a central landmark of Paris, France. As photography was allowed, I kept myself busy snapping away as my travel companions happily took in as much as they could see within what little time we had. Did not understand why photography is allowed at some museums and not others, whether or not an entrance fee is charged, and especially when internationally renowned works and exhibitions are brought in from overseas. How do museums cover costs and ensure sustainability when there is no longer any incentive to visit after seeing the photographs taken there? Except, maybe, to experience it yourself and have your own perspectives.
