Photography question... sort of.
I was in a museum today that held a bunch of ancient artifacts. Some of the exhibits had a sign which said "No Flash Photography".
Many people were still flashing and there was a woman going around yelling at them. She was seriously yelling, pushing their hands when they tried to take pictures, etc.
I was just wondering how flash photography could damage these artifacts? Does anyone have an explanation or possably a link which could explain this?
According to my bizarre logic, by the time flash photography would damage these artifacts, the museum itself will all ready be in ruin, in which case people will be excavating the site of an ancient museum.

Flash photography damages the colour of the paint, not only that but it also can apparently cause physical damage.
Lots of people think that it is so that you can't have your own pictures of things, this is probably true in some cases.
I reckon they should better inform people of why flashphotography is bad, there would be a lot less people who break the rules if they could understand the real reasons why.
