The Menil Collection seeks to provide a quiet and contemplative environment for viewing works of art. Due to this, we ask that you refrain from photography within the galleries.
The museum permits casual photography the foyer and corridors of our main building, and in the entry spaces of the Menil’s art buildings. We do not allow photo shoots, tripods, selfie sticks, or flash photography in our buildings.
We allow professional portrait shoots in our green spaces. Advance permission is not required for these outdoor portrait shoots.
The Menil does not allow commercial shoots or large-scale productions. For special exceptions, please contact press@menil.org.
Prohibited items and activities include: confetti or small items that are thrown and litter the grounds; smoke cannons; furniture props; and the use of museum restrooms for outfit changes.
All other image inquiries, including those related to scholarship and research, should be directed to rights@menil.org. More information on how to request images is located here.
