Finding public domain art from world museums
March 25, 2021 8:10 AM   Subscribe

A new visual search web service. Museo searches images hosted by a group of museums from two nations so far, including "the Art Institute of Chicago, the Rijksmuseum, the Harvard Art Museums, the Minneapolis Institute of Art and the New York Public Library Digital Collection."

"more to come!" the site promises.

Looks like all you need for additional museums is their API (and a bit of JSON finessing.) This should expand rapidly.

Ooh, delightful! Modern art is shockingly (to me) high on my things-I-must-regain-post-covid, and while this isn't standing in a gallery, it's helping!
