The risk of damage from flash is normally negligible compared with the risk of damage from the overall gallery lighting. You may therefore want to rephrase this sentence: "Rules generally prohibit the use of a flash because the light damages works of art." Several scientific studies published in the 1990s showed that flash normally posed such a minute risk of damage that galleries would not be justified in banning flash for conservation reasons. However, there are several other reasons why flash is not welcome in art galleries. The matter has been re-appraised, to take into account the widespread use of compact digital cameras that have an automatic flash facility. The provisional draft version of this re-appraisal can be read at: <a href="http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/mhe1000/musphoto/flashphoto.htm" rel="nofollow">http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/mhe1000/musphoto/flashphoto.htm</a>   A very good, well balanced, practical introduction to photography in museums and galleries.
