sculpture or a work of artistic craftsmanship on public display “other than temporarily”, or
a building,
a model of a building

in a:

two-dimensional image (e.g. a photograph, painting or drawing),
a film, or
a broadcast.

These exceptions do not apply to:

artistic works that are not sculptures or works of artistic craftsmanship, or
