I had a lot of fun browsing #SmithsonianOpenAccess' royalty-free historical art for my game remake Chrysanthemum. You can see 1 of 4 different artworks if you win or 1 of 4 others if you lose.

Teaching this tonight in White Bear, full class! >:-) btw made this entirely out of Smithsonian Open Access images which you should check out for CC0 licensed materials. Totally and entirely free to the public!! #SmithsonianOpenAccess #digitalcollage
An ad for a workshop called "Digital collage" uses cut out digital images of a woman from the Edwardian age with a tiny dog. She holds a red flower. Behind her are abstract star shapes of blueprints and yellow art. An arch from a different period piece is behind the figure as well as a photo of a green pathway underneath. The background photo is pink.

Agreed, Matt. 👍🏻 The Smithsonian museums are an incredible resource for researchers and citizens alike. 📚 But how long will their archives last given today’s newest EO? I’d say it’s a good time to duplicate those archives! ✅ apple.news/A8gvKWRPUS4q... #Smithsonian #OpenAccess #SmithsonianOpenAccess

The Smithsonian has put 2.8 million images from its collection online open access under a CC0 licence, which means you can literally do anything with these images! #SmithsonianOpenAccess

The image features a vibrant and modern design with a geometric background composed of various shapes in bright colors, including orange, yellow, red, blue, and white. The central focus is on the text "CREATE. IMAGINE. DISCOVER." in bold, white capital letters, which stands out against the orange background. Below this, the hashtag "#SmithsonianOpenAccess" is displayed in smaller, black text. The Smithsonian logo, a white starburst, is positioned in the bottom right corner. The overall layout is clean and visually appealing, with the text and logo clearly visible against the colorful backdrop.
