Photography and filming are not allowed in the Musée d'Orsay, i.e., it is forbidden to take pictures and to film inside museum galleries. See Musée d'Orsay, Copying, filming, photography. So, the claim by a Wiki user that the previous image of Gauguin's Oviri could "be replaced by a free photo of the same statue" and that "anyone can create a freely licensed replacement by simply going to the Musée d'Orsay with a camera" and that it was "replaceable by a different photo of the same sculpture" is unjustified.

This image of Gauguin's Oviri (more accurate in colors, incidentally, than the Orsay photograph) was obtained with great difficulty. :) Enjoy. Coldcreation (talk) 15:12, 27 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
