In recent days, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET) in New York announced its decision to offer 375,000 images of works from its digital catalog as public-domain images. The images are now available online under the Creative Commons Zero (CC0) license, which allows any person to download, use or modify the images without restrictions or the need to attribute them to the original authors. Unlike the 2014 initiative, with which the Museum offered online access to the now free images, this new policy or license allows users to appropriate them without the need for permissions and at no cost. The catalog includes an extensive selection of high-resolution images of works, ranging from sculptures to engravings, photographs, and paintings. The MET's director, Thomas P. Campbell, explained during a press conference that this change will allow the MET to become "one of the largest and most diverse open-access museum collection in the world," given that it now covers 5,000 years of the history or art from the entire world. Its content is the result of many working hours dedicated to digitalize the entire catalog of the museum that expands 147 years. It has been a painstaking effort performed by photographers, technicians, curators, and even authors that have exhibited their works on the museum's walls. The MET's database of images includes works by artists like Botticelli, Degas, Hokusai, Rodin, Cézanne, and Paul Klee, among others. This license adds the MET to the list of museums that offer digital collections under CC0 licenses. This list is headed by the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, which in 2012 adopted the same policy and made 18,000 images freely available online. The Walters Art Museum was followed by other institutions like the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, the Tate Gallery in London, and, more recently, by the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York—with 120,000 images. According to Loic Tallon, the MET's chief digital officer, this decision is "an exciting milestone in the MET's digital evolution." This is corroborated by the new collaborations that the museum announced on that very Tuesday. Creative Commons will not be its only ally: it will also receive support from other institutions like the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), Artstor, Wikimedia, and Pinterest. These institutions will work together on the project of the museum to expand its public beyond the 30 million users that already visit its website, opening its digital doors to the largest possible public.
