Report of activities: February
Content donation from Museum Catharijneconvent
Museum Catharijneconvent donated over 2500 high resolution (TIF) pictures to Wikimedia Commons from their permanent collection. The museum holds a large collection of paintings, sculptures and objects from christian history and culture. The donation got really great press coverage with several national newspapers picking up on it with large articles. It has been a very positive experience for the museum. The donation was combined with a workshop for museum staff on Wikimedia/Wikipedia. In March an editathon will take place. The collection can be found here: Media Contributed by Museum Catharijneconvent.
