I just got sent this:

Thought folks in NYC might like to know :-)
(although, I suppose that many things in there are still copyrighted which means that - with no USA freedom of panorama - you still can't put them on Commons...)

Perhaps you already new this and it's old news, but good news nevertheless!

Do you have, and if not, do you think it would be valuable to create, a document listing the status of various cultural institutions in the NYC area according to their photographic and other policies that have bearing on free-culture? Perhaps that might be a good pilot project for the free-culture alliance??
