Tell the museum something
A memory, a correction, or a question. Nothing you send appears on the site. It goes to the museum’s own queue, a person reads it, and they decide. If you teach, know this place, or remember it, your correction is worth more than a compliment.
This picture is shown with the credit and licence given by the collection that holds it; the museum claims no rights over it. Where the museum also holds an enhanced interpretation of this picture, it appears only inside the chapter, beside the original, and is labelled as speculative.
