The new initiative rolled out on Thursday and is going full-steam to promote the effort and make sure the world knows how to gain access.

While much of the Met’s collection are historical works in the public domain, the Met is now lifting any licensing restrictions on its own photography of these artworks, and unambiguously releasing them under CC0, so they can be used freely online. With the Met’s CC0 release today and updating of its licensing policy, images of the Met’s public domain artwork will be freely available online to be reused for any purpose, without restriction under copyright law.
Users can browse the museum's collection (or via the Creative Commons search) and download and use images classified as in the public domain for whatever they want: school projects, personal use, even web stories like, well, this one.
Just look on the page for each piece of art for the "Public Domain" symbol and -- boom -- you've got art!
In a statement, Thomas P. Campbell, director and CEO of the museum, said, "Increasing access to the Museum's collection and scholarship serves the interests and needs of our 21st-century audiences by offering new resources for creativity, knowledge, and ideas. We thank Creative Commons, an international leader in open access and copyright, for being a partner in this effort."
The museum is also cranking up partnerships with Creative Commons, Wikimedia, Artstor, Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), Art Resource, and even Pinterest to help publicize the new initiative.
