Photography Policies

General Photography Policy

By entering and by your presence in City Museum, all guests consent to be photographed. 

Guest entry constitutes consent to such photography in any and all usage in perpetuity, of your appearance for any purpose whatsoever in connection with the production presently entitled: City Museum – St. Louis. 

Guests understand that all photography will be done in reliance on this consent given by you entering City Museum. 

If you do not agree to the foregoing, please do not enter. Thank you.

Personal Use

Visitors to City Museum are permitted to take photographs and shoot videos for personal use, except in specific exhibits where photography is not permitted or when City Museum personnel deem photography disruptive. 

  • Photographs, film or videotape may not be taken of individuals without their express permission or, in the case of minors, without the express written permission of parents or legal guardians.
  • Personal photographs and videos are not to be used for commercial purposes.
  • Photographs, film or videotapes taken without permission may be confiscated and destroyed by personnel of City Museum.
  • While on City Museum grounds, visitors may be photographed by City Museum photographers, and these images may be used for the purpose of promoting City Museum.
  • Pictures, videos, or any other photography while riding a slide is strictly prohibited and may result in removal from City Museum.

Commercial Use

Professional photographers must arrange prior approval for all editorial and commercial photography, filming or videotaping at City Museum. Commercial photographs must clearly attribute City Museum as the location.

City Museum reserves the right to determine whether the content of photography, filming or videotaping is objectionable and prohibited.

Wedding Photography

City Museum is a popular place for wedding parties to pose for pictures. We give first preference to our guests who have rented reception space within City Museum. On a space-available basis AND with prior notice to our [email protected] inbox, City Museum may also allow a limited number of admission-paying parties to pose for pictures in certain spaces. Although we are delighted to be a part of the celebration, we will not allow parties to bring food or beverages into City Museum.

City Museum reserves the right to refuse admittance for photography and/or to change its Photo Policy without advance notice.
