4. Why Open Content?
The Getty adopted the Open Content Program
because we recognized the need to share images of
works of art in an unrestricted manner, freely, so that
all those who create or appreciate art—scholars,
artists, art lovers, and entrepreneurs—will have
greater access to high-quality digital images for their
studies and projects. Art inspires us, and imagination
and creativity lead to artistic expressions that expand
knowledge and understanding. The Getty sincerely
hopes that people will use the open content images
for a wide range of activities and that they will share
the fruits of their labors with others.
5. The audience is dead – let’s talk
participants instead.

8. “We believe in new forms of
conversations and disclosure of
our artistic heritage never more
authoritative, conservative but
open, welcoming and innovative.”
Ph. Eli Brown on Flickr
9. “We believe in a new connection between
museums and participants based on the
active participations of people to the
production, creation and valorization of
culture.”
10. “We believe in new ways of experiencing
cultural sites, never more passive, where
knowledge will be built and not only
transmitted. Where the participant will
be involved and creating another form of
art.
Ph. By Fabio Nardella
11. “We believe in the opportunity of the
web and social media to break down all
the cultural barriers”
