Which images can you download?

How to download your images?
Images can easily be downloaded by clicking the button “Download image” next to the desired picture. Once you’ve clicked this button, you’ll be asked for some additional information that is of high value for our partners.
This allows them to have insight in who downloads the images of their heritage objects and for which purposes they are used. After filling out the additional information, you can click “Download image”, and you’ll be able to see the web address of the image. If you click on it, an image of 2000 pixels long will be downloaded.
What can you do with the downloaded images?
Next to each of the downloadable images, you’ll find a Creative Commons rights statement or license. This indicates what you’re allowed to do with the downloaded images. As a service provider, meemoo aims to make images available as freely as possible. Even concerning the images that are no longer protected by copyright, we have to consider the wishes of the collection administrators, our partners. They decide under which rights statement or license we can, and are allowed to disclose the images of their heritage objects. This means that the rights statement or license may differ depending on the collection or even by heritage object.
Meemoo aims to make images of public domain works under a CC0-rights license available as much as we can. After the agreement of the collection administrators, more images under the CC0-rights statement will gradually be freed.
If an image is used in a publication, the collection or the museum would like to receive a copy.
