It is not even permissible to take out photos of animate objects. The prohibition is not limited to only displaying the photos.
It is also prohibited to keep photos of animate objects in an album.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
