Wikipedia Loves Art
Shelley Bernstein has just announced an initiative to help illustrate Wikipedia articles: Wikipedia Loves Art. Part scavenger hunt, part photography contest, it's involving community in the visual documentation of museum collectons, and enhancing Wikipedia entries. A far cry from being banned for linking into museum web sites!
Wikipedia Loves Art is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest coordinated with the Brooklyn Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and possibly other museums worldwide, and aimed at illustrating Wikipedia articles. The event is planned to run for the whole month of February 2009, and the name is a play off of Valentine's Day.
More Details:
Museums interested in participating should contact Shelley. We'll post more details as they become available.
