Flash photography

It has just been suggested to staff at our museum that we are party
poopers in not allowing flash photography in the exhibit areas.
Further, that we are one of few museums in the world still following
this creed. A number of us still have reservations regarding flash
photography, particularly in relation to textiles, feathers etc. We
would appreciate some feed-back from the conservation/curatorial
community. Thank you,
