Happy International Museum Day!
Today we are celebrating the International Museum Day with the addition of the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) in the list of museums that you can download! When the museum announced it would make available copyright-free photographs for all of the Public Domain exhibits in its collection, the National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) stated that with this move they aspire "to accomodate [the] culture users of today and tomorrow" and in particularly those "users who are not simply content to be spectators of culture" but instead those who "want to get actively involved, and they want to use culture in their own lives".
Accomodating the cutlure users of tomorrow, who want to use culture in their every day lives is what Download Artworks is all about. So, we could not be any happier to see that in the few months that artwork downloads have been introduced to USEUM, hundreds of people from all around the world have already been downloading artworks, from Vietnam to Argentina and from Canada to New Zealand!
The National Gallery of Denmark (SMK) exhibits hundreds of famous paintings that you can download and use freely, including Rembrandt's The Crusader, Christen Købke's A View from Dosseringen near the Sortedam Lake Looking Towards Nørrebro, Carl Bloch's In a Roman Osteria, Harald Giersing's The Judgement of Paris and Martinus Rørbye's View from the Artist's Room.
The National Gallery of Denmark appears on the top of the Download Artworks page, along with the National Gallery of Art in Washington, The Indianapolis Museum of Art and the J. Paul Getty Museum, which are other museums from which you can download artworks. Happy International Museum Day!
