    I can’t imagine any of those photos are coming out well either, so I don’t understand the point. I can see a selfie or a picture of your family in front of it, but I’m never going to look at a phone pic of a framed painting behind glass at a distance.

      You can look at it right after you watch the video of those New Year’s fireworks from 2019.

        You just reminded me - somewhere I’ve got a video of my oldest kid seeing his first fireworks. Don’t think he was even toddling yet, and his grandmother was holding him.

        I don’t think he even has any memories of her when she was still lucid, I need to dig that out!

          Nice. Glad I could help. Hopefully it was a video of him and not the fireworks!

      I can’t imagine doing it for something like the Mona Lisa, but I take plenty of other paintings to get the painting and plaque in one shot, so after I can look up the names of painters I liked and hadn’t heard of.

      Munch’s The Scream actually does kind of merit taking a picture, though. At least for the Munch Museum in Oslo, he made a ton of different versions on cardboard or paper bases that can’t hold up to extended exposure to light, so the ones on display get rotated every half hour or so. There’s also another version of it a short distance away in the National Museum, so it could be fun to compare all the different versions you can catch.
