•  Oppose - I regret that this isn't wowing me. The building itself is not striking to me, and the reflections aren't helping. Perhaps others may feel differently. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:21, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Very good light, and an eye-catching composition and staircase for me. -- Slaunger (talk) 20:36, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Simple forms, and I like how "Museum" is like a little label for the image. -- Colin (talk) 20:37, 3 October 2016 (UTC)
•  Support I don't mind the reflections (hard to avoid such in this case) especially since the things reflected are very much in line with the designs next to them. cart-Talk 22:02, 3 October 2016 (UTC)

•  Support ...And how lucky/happy/smart you are with FoP in Germany !! The Louvre Pyramid is by the same architect, but no picture of it alone is acceptable here in "Commons"...--Jebulon (talk) 09:00, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
  •  Comment exactly, Jebulon. I don't know how many times I've had to fight so far just to get my pics of the Louvre savely trough diverse DRs. Let's hope that there'll never be any European legislation that bans FoP within the EU. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 11:23, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

• @Jebulon: @Martin Falbisoner: Well, we (Germans) could surely improve our copyright law if we'd expand FoP to interiors. It's really a shame that so many excellent pictures have to be deleted or won't ever be uploaded just because there's no FoP inside buildings in Germany (e.g. here or here). Nobody benefits from banning interiors, not even the authors themselves (I can't imagine that there's any architect who sells licenses for pictures of his or her building interiors). I've recently spent a whole day in a 1930ies church in Berlin making lots of stitched photographs and 360° panos. When I came back home and I was going to upload them I noticed that the architect died in the 1980ies so it won't be possible to upload the pictures before the late 2050ies! Isn't that completely crazy? (I can provide you a link to some of the pictures, just in case you're curios. The lucky Austrians have FoP for building interiors, why don't we have it everywhere in Europe? --Code (talk) 05:34, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• I hear you, Ansgar! Where's the petition I can sign? And yes, I'd be interested in your pics. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:27, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

• Imagine, my friend: This is our problem in France for EXTERIORS ! and sculptures, and...everything ! Famous french monuments are NOT available (category:Palais de Chaillot, for instance...). Your reasoning is simple, fair, and sounds obvious. Of course here we have the same, and the french Wikimedia chapter is lobbying again and again our government, but the answer is always "non". We had a recent change, but it excludes the "commercial use", so it is still not suitable for "Commons"... I asked once directly the famous uruguayan architect Carlos Ott about his "Opera Bastille", and he was very surprised about the "no FoP in France". After that, he authorized officially freedom for photograph this building... By the way, as a frequent traveler to Greece, this is the same issue in this country. Fortunately, the law changed recently in Belgium...--Jebulon (talk) 08:36, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
