Parts
Steps
- Search The Met's Collection API (v1.1/search) for objects with images, then open each object record.
- Keep only objects marked isPublicDomain, and Rijksmuseum objects whose notice is public domain or CC0.
- Pick one a day, make web-sized copies with sharp, and write a short caption from the object's own fields.
Watch out
- The Met lists works still under copyright too; use images only when isPublicDomain is true.
- CC BY items from the Rijksmuseum need "Rijksmuseum" as credit; never imply either museum endorses your app.
