The National Gallery in London has banned selfie sticks.

The ban by the National Gallery was welcomed by art critic Brian Sewell. He told The Times: "They are possibly quite dangerous to the art work and cause appalling crowding around a painting.
國立美術館的禁令受到肯定, 有位藝評家就說: "自拍棍對藝術作品可能相當危險, 造成人潮全擠到作品前"
"Anyone who actually wants to go and see a painting can't because people are too busy taking photos. I've seen things in the National Gallery which make my hair stand on end."
"任何想好好觀賞畫作或藝術品的人不得安寧, 因為周圍人群忙著自拍. 我看過這景象讓我整個毛髮倒豎非常不舒服"

It used to be so easy. Cameras were banned - flashlight was bad for the pictures and visitors having their own copies of paintings was bad for business.
曾經一切是很好管理的. 禁止照相機 - 閃光燈對畫作與遊客都是一種干擾. 拍照形成一個複製, 也影響到館方的生意.
The camera phone changed all that - making it unfeasible for galleries to stop people taking photographs.
附有照相功能的手機改變了一切, - 讓館方去禁止東禁止西顯得很不合宜
The selfie stick has introduced a new problem, which is to stop people looking at pictures and in so doing creates a distraction for those who are trying to study what the gallery has to offer. So the rationale for banning them is because they cause a disturbance - the side benefit being you will now once again have to go the museum shop to get your copy of your favourite picture.
自拍棍造成新的問題, 會去干擾其他人觀畫觀賞藝術品的心情, 造成分心, 無法盡情欣賞. 所以禁止自拍神器最大理由是他們造成干擾 - 不過, 有個不經意的好處是, 你被迫去博物館商店, 買你喜歡的複製品
