Smithsonian Open Access
Open Access records from across all the Smithsonian museums, combining collection metadata with CC0 media that can be reused freely. Searching happens on the Smithsonian site; an API exists, keyed through api.data.gov. Valuable for finding reusable museum imagery and object records in one place. Currently degraded, expect possible CAPTCHA interruptions.

Чем полезен и как работает
The Smithsonian Open Access collection stands out because everything in it carries a CC0 public domain dedication, meaning you can download and reuse the images and data freely without restriction or credit requirement. It draws from all Smithsonian museums and research centers, so a single search spans natural history specimens, fine art, cultural artifacts, archival documents, and scientific data. You search or browse on the Smithsonian website; Echo links you there directly. Note that the site may occasionally present a CAPTCHA before loading.
Что внутри
More than 17 million metadata records from over 20 Smithsonian museums, libraries, and research centers, with millions of high-resolution CC0 images spanning the natural world, art, history, and science.
