The J. Paul Getty Museum is giving you the go-ahead to create your own museum merchandise, having freshly made over 88,000 pieces of its collection available for free online. This means anyone can get a hold of high-resolution images of masterpieces, from the brushstrokes of Vincent Van Gogh’s Irises and Claude Monet’s Sunrise (Marine) to the historical depths of a Roman marble bust of Alexander the Great. Art lovers, educators, students, historians, and creators alike can now explore, modify, and even commercialize these treasures without worrying about copyright restrictions as the works have been added to the public domain.
