A little something for the art crowd here at MV:

In her May 28, 2013 New York Times story, Nina Siegal wrote,

Quote:

"Many museums post their collections online, but the Rijksmuseum [in Amsterdam]... has taken the unusual step of offering downloads of high-resolution images at no cost, encouraging the public to copy and transform its artworks into stationery, T-shirts, tattoos, plates or even toilet paper."

Seems like there's something there for pretty much any taste.

I was in Amsterdam once and went to several museums (the Rijksmuseum was under renovation). I was really excited to go and was impressed with many of the pieces displayed.

Their view is that as a public institution the artwork belongs at least in part, to the public... and they should have access to it. Very refreshing.
