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 <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Batch_uploading/Los_Angeles_County_Museum_of_Public_Art>, comments and suggestions welcome.

Cheers,
Fae

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?
Jane
