The Paintings in the Art Museum

On a hot day in August, I went to an art museum in Tokyo.
Because there was a beautiful painting, I took out my mobile phone.
But a museum staff member said, ‘Please do not take pictures here.‘
I immediately put my mobile phone in my bag.
That person informed me, ‘You may take pictures in that room over there, you know.‘
I said, ‘Thank you,’ and went to that room.
