Credits & Thanks

The museums

Every artwork you can search, save, and hang in your galleries comes from a museum's open-access program — collections these institutions have made freely available to the public. We're deeply thankful to:

• The Metropolitan Museum of Art
• Art Institute of Chicago
• Cleveland Museum of Art
• Rijksmuseum
• Harvard Art Museums
• Smithsonian Open Access

Mooseium is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these institutions. Rights to individual works remain with the institutions and rights-holders; please consult each museum's open-access terms before reuse.

The libraries

The reading room is powered by public-domain books and the volunteers and organizations who digitize and catalog them:

• Project Gutenberg — tens of thousands of public-domain books, digitized by volunteers, that you can read here in full.
• Gutendex — the open API that makes Project Gutenberg searchable.
• Open Library (a project of the Internet Archive) — descriptions and metadata that enrich each book.

Built with open source

Mooseium stands on a lot of shoulders. Thanks to the maintainers of Next.js, React, Supabase, three.js with React Three Fiber and drei, and the many open-source libraries in between.
