If you are looking for some art – and I’m talking Good Art, with an capital “A” – the metropolitan museum is the place to find it. And not only you can Go to the museum when you are in New York (To see art), you can also download about half a million digital pictures of the acts approved by the real, snob from the online archives of the museum-for a long time.
Met Met hosts 492,000 high-resolution images, most of which are public domains, so you can use them for any non-commercial purpose-anything from printing a T-shirt with a T-shirt Stretton’s James Johnson On it, to hang a poster Penus of St. Jerome To remind you of the importance of self-loss on your wall (I am not a kink-sham).

How “Public Domains” affect pictures in the right museums
Browing the collection of the mate, and others, such as Getty Museum ‘S, I have got thinking who is really art. The answer is difficult: material goods (Painting, sculptures, Lires prepared from human skull) Muse is owned by the museum. Intellectual property (What the art shows is related to his creator first, but for all: In the US, IP ownership is counter -public domain – I am 95 years old or owned by everyone after building work or 70 years after the death of the author, if the work was made before 1978.
What do you think so far?
Right to right Image made Of An artwork (or something) There is a different thing: whoever took the photo is the owner of the photo, till 70 years after his death, of course. You can visit the museum yourself and take a picture of a public domain work and use it in any way, but Mate owns the rights of images he has uploaded. He has just chosen to issue the rights that no one is going to stop his work.
