Thanks for the links, absolutely great channels. I wonder if there exist something like curated "awesome list" of museums online? Because I don't even think it's possible to find these gems just doing a search on Google/YouTube which returns mostly low quality to spam results.

View on HN

I made a list of museums, galleries and libraries that make their collections available in the public domain with high resolution downloads. A lot of places, even if their collections are out of copyright only have low resolution images available.

Nice, but wouldn't an "awesome list"-like page on GitHub be more manageable and update-friendly?

Possibly, but it’s all on and managed by GitHub anyway. https://github.com/MattKevan/kevan.tv/blob/master/_articles/...

Maybe we can start an HN or Reddit thread and then link it from AwesomeMuseamsOnline.(whatever cheap tld)

Or an "Awesome list" on GitHub.

Thought of the same, if no one else beats me i'll get started on this in a few hours

To everyone, the list has been created, the rest is easy :D

Tomorrow/early next week I'll throw in the boilerplate ( contributing.md, PR template, and see about organisation/generation/TOC/etc.) and then i'll start adding the mentions from this thread and others i know of.

Once it's decent and ready for wide contributions, i'll post on HN, Reddit and co.

Thanks!

Initial version ready https://github.com/sofixa/awesome-museums-online, i'll keep adding museums ( from this thread and elsewhere) and sections

I made this years ago, still update it sometimes.

Please do this.
