Hi all,

Can someone explain me please how it is possible to have copyright of ancient Egyptian artifacts (photographed in Museum of Egyptian Antiquities, Cairo)?

Those artifacts are created 3-4-5000 years ago. (example below)

Regards

Hello, You took it in a museum, so because of that, I think it comes under copyright protection. You may have to get a release from the museum so it can be used for commercial purposes.

Ricky336,

Can you please clarify what is the difference between artifact in museum (like this on the photo) and artifact on field (like sphinx for example). I do not get it.

P.S. Of course I do not search for legal advise just clarification

Well, I guess one is inside and protected, and one is outside, exposed to the elements. That could make a big difference!
