Hi all!In December the Vasa museum in Stockholm, Sweden, will open a new part of the
museum with a new exhibition. The new exhibition will cover the time from 1600 to 1650 and
look at the world from different cultures. The museum have started working with writing
Wikipedia articles, uploading images to Commons and are exploring how to use free images
in exhibitions. For this exhibition they are planning to use as much free material as
possible, and combined with their wish to get more then a Swedish view on the culture they
need help finding images. I've prepared a portal on Commons with a list of places,
key words and people but input from you and others are highly appreciated.
Have a look at
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Vasamuseet, put images you think
works with the descriptions in there, help spread the word on village pumps and beyond.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll answer them or pass them on to the
museum curators responsible for the exhibition.
All the best and thanks in advance.
