Photography and Video Policy
The Menil Collection seeks to provide a quiet and contemplative environment for viewing works of art. The museum allows photography for personal use in the main building foyer and corridors, along with our outdoor spaces. Please do not use a flash or tripod (or similar equipment) as these can damage the artwork and disturb other visitors. We ask that you refrain from photography within the galleries.
Press and professional photographers should contact press@menil.org for permission to shoot on campus.
Advance notice is required and your request must include a completed request form. The Menil does not permit the use of furniture props, confetti or small items that can litter the area, or 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.
