Wikipedia:GLAM/Herbert Art Gallery and Museum

Wiki letter w cropped.svg Scope
This project aims to coordinate the sharing of resources between the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum (The Herbert) and the Wikimedia community. The Herbert's mission as a museum aligns closely with Wikipedia’s goal to provide "free access to the sum of all human knowledge." The Herbert houses a diverse collection encompassing subjects such as art, science, history, and more. The distribution of this broad range of information will impact topics throughout Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and other projects.
