Re: Unpublished works in the UK

[Moderator: I've combined two reply posts into one, to conserve message
 traffic.  The first part is a response to Jeroen Hellingman's post]

_I_ think we should form a team to visit all the major musea
throughout the world, and photograph all the great works in
the public domain, and then publish an online compendium of
them all. . .either in the public domain or via copyleft.
             
If you read the charters of these institutions, you may find
in most cases that the refusal to share their materials is
contradictory to their policies on this.

I would even like to try to do a 3-D representation of many
of the most famous statuary.


Thanks!

So nice to hear from you!
