What is with public museums and no photography policies?

I hear the occasional guard speak of copyright, but no handheld,  
flashless camera is going to make a good enough copy for any use. Are  
they just scared you won't use the gift shop if you can shoot your own?

Besides, is Monet's stuff really still under copyright? If it's  
incidental to a photo of a lady and her baby in the museum, and the  
photo is not used for commercial purposes, is it really an violation?
