FYI I am in the process of gathering images from the Google Art Project. I've uploaded a small sample to Commons which you can see here:<br><br><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Google_Art_Project">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Google_Art_Project</a><br>
<br>And one really, really, big image to the Internet Archive (because it's >100MB):<br><br><a href="http://www.archive.org/details/VincentVanGogh-StarryNight-GoogleArtProject">http://www.archive.org/details/VincentVanGogh-StarryNight-GoogleArtProject</a><br>
<br>I won't be making any more uploads until I have all the images and there are artwork templates filled out on Commons for all the ones that will be uploaded.<br><br>-- <br>Derrick Coetzee<br>User:Dcoetzee<br><br>On Sat, Feb 5, 2011 at 4:00 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:toolserver-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org">toolserver-l-request@lists.wikimedia.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Note that Commons already has plenty of images from at least some of<br>
these museums, e.g.:<br>
<a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Van_Gogh_Museum" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Van_Gogh_Museum</a><br>
<br>
For the rest, we could just ask them "now that Google has put images<br>
online, can we too?", then go and take our own pictures.<br>
<br>
Too radical? ;-)<br>

You can make your own pictures if you have<br>
a 7 Gigapixel camera ;-)<br>
In this video they show how google works:<br>

<br>
Also if highres-cameras from <a href="http://gigapan.org" target="_blank">gigapan.org</a> are cheap available you need<br>
time and the right light in the museum.<br>
<br>
We still have some technics on commons to get high resolution images<br>
from websites:<br>
<a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Zoomable_images" target="_blank">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Zoomable_images</a><br>
This seems the right place for documentation.<br>
<br>
But I'm not sure perhaps better to ask friendly or to wait until more<br>
images from museums are online. Not sure if the museums are happy if we<br>
take the pictures and present it in a format that you can easily print<br>
out....<br>
<br>
