Prepping for Wikipedia Loves Art!
This is just a quick note to any of the peeps at cultural institutions who may read our blog. We are helping organize Wikipedia Loves Art, an event being held in February at museums across the globe. To get an idea of how all this is going to work, check out all the details and rules in the Flickr group. So far, in addition to the Brooklyn Museum, we have the MET from across the river…the V&A from across the pond…IMA right in the middle and LACMA over on the West Coast all participating. We will all be doing a lot of blogging about this as the date gets closer, but if you represent a cultural institution (large or small) and you have a decently open photography policy and would like to take part—please email me so I can get you hooked up! Many thanks—this is going to be really, really fun.
