June 2009 was indeed Wiki Loves Art /NL. But wasn't that also already based
on the (different in scope and way it was organized though) New York
edition earlier that year? Smaller in number of organizations, but I
believe not very small in number of photos.

We had 45 museums participating back then, resulting in 5500 photographs.
