Well I guess it is also a feeling of trust, as some museums have had people that treated the museum like a kind of Disneyland, or worse, thinking of certain open-air museums where there are buildings with thatched roofs and still some feel they have to smoke even though they know the museum is edgey about the fire hasard.
Museums have to feel they are dealing with relayable people, people who also know, that it can not be taken for granted, that one is allowed to set up ones display on museum grounds. It takes time to get a door open in a museum, it takes just one nut, seen doing something daft to shut that door that took so long to open.
That is why it is not easy to be allowed to do something in a museum. And I do not blame them, as who would want unreplaceable artefacts destroyed because of some silly costume campers?
