美術の著作物又は写真の著作物の原作品により、第二十五条に規定する権利を害することなく、これらの著作物を公に展示する者（以下この条において「原作品展示者」という。）は、観覧者のためにこれらの展示する著作物（以下この条及び第四十七条の六第二項第一号において「展示著作物」という。）の解説若しくは紹介をすることを目的とする小冊子に当該展示著作物を掲載し、又は次項の規定により当該展示著作物を上映し、若しくは当該展示著作物について自動公衆送信（送信可能化を含む。同項及び同号において同じ。）を行うために必要と認められる限度において、当該展示著作物を複製することができる。ただし、当該展示著作物の種類及び用途並びに当該複製の部数及び態様に照らし著作権者の利益を不当に害することとなる場合は、この限りでない。
For the purpose of explaining or introducing an exhibited work to persons viewing it and to the extent considered to be necessary, the person exhibiting the original copy of a work may present the exhibited work via an on-screen presentation or transmit an automatic public transmission about that exhibited work; provided, however, that this does not apply if the action would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright owner in light of the nature or purpose of the exhibited work or the circumstances of its on-screen presentation or automatic public transmission.
To the extent considered to be necessary in order to provide information to the public concerning the location of an exhibited work, the person exhibiting the original copy of a work or a person designated by Cabinet Order as equivalent thereto may reproduce that exhibited work or make a transmission to the public about it (this includes making the relevant work available for transmission, if it is to be transmitted to the public via an automatic public transmission); provided, however, that this does not apply if the action would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright owner in light of the nature or purpose of the exhibited work or the circumstances of its reproduction or public transmission.
