Well, wonderful news! I just got word that the SFMOMA is interested in participating, though I'm a little sceptical they have *any* public domain works in house (Henri Matisse is the closest I can come, and he died in 1954).
I'll send more details as soon as they get in touch with me.

The DeYoung has an enormous collection of objets from various periods, it might be an excellent fit as well.

Hi!
Which local museums hosts art which is in public
domain? Definitely
not SFMOMA or San Jose Art Museum...

participating in
this at a Bay Area museum? Are there any ones that would be particularly good to try and coordinate with?

photography contest at
museums worldwide To: Wikimedia Foundation Mailing List

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
