Das nenne ich mal eine gute Nachricht:

On 16 May 2014, Thomas P. Campbell, Director and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, announced that more than 400,000 images of public domain works in the Museum’s world-renowned collection may be downloaded directly from the Museum’s website for non-commercial use — including in scholarly publications in any media — without permission from the Museum and without a fee. The number of available images will increase as new digital files are added on a regular basis.
