RE: Viewing Ivan Aivazovsky's Works in The National Gallery of Armenia

Was the other place anal about photography in general (because they have the misconception that people won't come see it in person if they can just see an imitation online) or just with the flash?
I have no idea. They didn't let any type of photography. Turkey was a very backward place though. Very few things made sense. Here I could take pictures, they made sure they had signs saying no flash. And here there aren't even ropes or barriers to stop you from getting too close to the art. Even with the museums, displays are pretty much fully open. It's a high trust society here where they expect you to respect everything. People do.

Do you think a lot of setups are self fulfilling prophecies? Like in places that pre-emptively take punitive measures on everyone because some people are idiots have a higher rate of people acting like idiots than places where good behaviour is just expected?
