Hi folks,
I'd like to let you folks know about "Wikipedia Loves Art", a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest project being organized at several museums worldwide in February.
So far these museums are confirmed: Brooklyn Museum in New York City Victoria and Albert Museum in London Los Angeles County Museum of Art Inadianapolis Museum of Art
But we're very interested in recruiting other institutions to join. There have been some rumblings in Australia, Hungary and Germany on that front, I think.
Here are the main relevant links:

These links also cover some of our past photography projects in New York City (which this project is partly an evolution on):

If anyone anywhere is interested in helping their local museum to participate in this project, please contact me and I'll help.
Thanks, Pharos
