Cleveland Museum of Art’s collection offers Open Access
Introducing Open Access at the CMA: For the Benefit of All the People Forever
https://medium.com/cma-thinker/intro...r-d3cd81964616

"Beginning immediately, as many as 30,000 images of public-domain artworks in the Cleveland Museum of Art’s (CMA) collection will be available to all as part of our Open Access program. In addition, metadata relevant to more than 61,000 works are available without restriction, whether the works themselves are in the public domain or under copyright. To make this initiative feasible, the museum has partnered with Creative Commons Zero (CC0), a global nonprofit organization that makes possible the sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge...."

And very, very good.
The more people contribute to the creative commons the better it is for everybody. Their logo shows they get it.
Now to see more Museums and Universities follow suit.

Thank you for posting this!

The Cleveland Museum of Art is one of the best museums in the US, and it's even free to visit. (There are paid special exhibits though.) It is definitely worth the trip for anyone who appreciates fine art.
