Fae,
That is awesome, and a great reminder to me of all the good things
about Wikipedia! I love how everyone who has written about this just
has to provide a link to one of the pictures. They really are
lusciously beautiful - hi res, full color, and unusual subjects, which
is exactly what the long tail of Wikipedia articles is all about.
I can't wait until it's all done, thanks
Jane

FYI, I'm in the process of uploading this
collection and sorted out the
metadata mapping last week. There were a few wrinkles to iron out, as the
current catalogue appears to use some lower resolution images that
previously were available, so I'm waiting on a reply from LACMA on these
points.
You can see progress at <

comments and suggestions welcome.

Sumana,
Thanks for posting! There are some amazing images there, and I see
that many of them seem to have been added to Commons already by
Kaldari's bot, such as this painting:

A quick search on this "File:WLA_lacma" brings back 381 results.
Hopefully this post will help us get the rest on board?
