Unlock millions of digital treasures from the Smithsonian collections
Explore the launch of Smithsonian Open Access, a new initiative providing unrestricted access to vast digital archives. This video introduces the tools that allow anyone to download and reuse iconic images and 3D models for their own projects.
The Smithsonian Open Access initiative provides a streamlined way to access nearly 3 million digital assets, including 2D images and 3D items. Users can now download, share, and reuse these materials without the need for prior permission.
The digital repository spans a massive breadth of human knowledge, drawing from the institution's 19 museums, various research centers, libraries, and archives, as well as the National Zoo.
