Good Day Sir Martin,
I’m one of the Michael Angelo’s Sistine Chapel Exhibition enthusiast. Just want to share my painful experienced.
I hope in the future you can improve the rules & regulations. (can you please make the instructions clear the do’s & don’t s)
I was approached by the guard & telling me …taking Videos is prohibited… I told him I was not taking videos… Im listening with the audio sound… It happened I didn’t detached my cell phone to my selfie stick tripod cause it’s easier for me to take pictures. 2nd time around I was approached by a lady asking me if where i came from?
I told her I’m from The Philippines. She told me she saw me taking videos. She told me it’s ok to take videos but she saw me a deliberately long videos cause she’s concerned of possible copyright violation. …I told her the same as I told the guard (i’m listening to the audio ) & I am not a professional photographer …i love & appreciate art & I am also a painter & if I took some photos that’s for my references.
I always attached my GoPro to my tripod too…for back up incase I ran out of batteries (To someone I look like a professional videographer) I usually enjoy a lot in looking at the brush stroke of each painting which require a lot of time. I do that in other exhibit or show as well.
WoW…. I’ve waited for Sistine Chapel Exhibition for so long… I booked VIP Ticket in Advance ( May 2023 ) & very excited to attend and will help to promote … But I will never forget this experience. I already attend many museums and inquire them regarding the rules of the museums but never encountered any problems like this plus all museums I attended are all accomodating which I didn’t expect from them.
To all this happenings I’m totally disappointed. I thought if I booked VIP I will get some privilege. (But I’m not expecting any VIP Privilege/Treatment I’m just happy & excited to attend … that’s all but not this kind of experienced.
I saw others taking photos & videos too …
all are free to do what they are supposed to do. I thought it would be once in a lifetime experience.. Oh it become once in a lifetime traumatic experience. It becomes the post traumatic stress disorder. I bought a lot of nice souvenirs but every time I see those souvenirs … It recall the sad incident.
I hope in the future this experience will not be repeated by other art enthusiasts.
Thanks Very Much for bringing The Michael Angelo Sistine Chapel Exhibition To The Philippines.
