Peabody Museum Policy on Filming in Galleries 10-11-01 Exhibit galleries of the Peabody Museum may be used as venues for educational or commercial films or photography. All requests and arrangements for filming should be made through pmresrch@fas.harvard.edu. Final permission to film rests with the Peabody Museum administration. Please note the following: 1) The location fee for filming is $1500 per day, or $750 per half-day. This fee is payable to the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology upon the commencement of filming. 2) A list of locations to be filmed must be provided to the Peabody Museum prior to filming with at least two weeks advance notice. Selecting these locations might require an advance visit to the Peabody by the filmmaker. Secure storage areas are not available. All logistical concerns such as freight elevator access and availability, power supply, etc. must be arranged prior to filming. 3) A schedule for filming must be agreed upon in advance with the Peabody Museum. Filming hours are on weekdays only, from 9:00am to 5:00pm. Filming after 5:00pm or on holidays is not permitted. All filming days must start in the morning, even if only a half-day is anticipated. 4) Galleries may not be closed to the public during filming without prior arrangement. The third-floor galleries may not be closed under any circumstances because they serve as emergency exit routes. 5) All Museum artifacts are to be handled only by Peabody Museum staff or their designates. A responsible staff member will be present at all times during the filming to facilitate the project. Exhibit cases cannot be opened for filming without prior arrangement with the Peabody Museum. A list of artifacts to be filmed must be provided to the Peabody Museum prior to filming with at least two weeks advance notice. Selecting these artifacts might require an advance visit to the Peabody by the filmmaker. 6) The Peabody Museum film will provide a contract that must be signed prior to filming.
