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.

      To everyone, the list has been created, the rest is easy :D https://github.com/sofixa/awesome-museums-online https://github.com/sofixa/awesome-museums-online 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.

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. https://www.kevan.tv/articles/the-best-sites-for-public-domain-art-and-illustration/ https://www.kevan.tv/articles/the-best-sites-for-public-doma...

  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/the-best-sites-for-public-domain-art-and-illustration.md https://github.com/MattKevan/kevan.tv/blob/master/_articles/...
