I've taken some photographs of works of art depicting animals which were on public display. I've also copied the written details displayed about each animal such as habitat, features etc ... In all each would have around forty words.

I'm considering putting a few pages up on my site with the photographs of the animals.

Can I also add the exact words I copied from the written details, or should I rewrite it in my own words?

Copying the words someone else wrote....

How is that not a copyright violation?
