Classical Art Images Now Available for Free

The National Gallery of Art has an open access policy for images of works of art in our permanent collection

The National Gallery of Art has announced a new open access policy for images of works of art in the museum's permanent collection.

This means that anyone can download and use these images for free, without having to ask for permission.

The policy applies to all images of works of art that are in the public domain, as well as to images of works of art that are still under copyright but for which the copyright holder has granted permission for free use.

The National Gallery of Art's open access policy is a major step forward in making the museum's collection more accessible to the public.

In the past, researchers, educators, and members of the public who wanted to use images of works of art from the museum's collection had to go through a time-consuming and often expensive process of requesting permission.

The new open access policy eliminates these barriers and makes it easy for anyone to use images of works of art from the museum's collection for any purpose.
