They are the second Swedish museums, after the Nordic Museum, to make this leap, thus placing them next to other OpenGLAM institutions such as the United States National Gallery of Art, the Rijksmuseum, and the Central Art Archives Finland. “Bibliotekarien” (in English: “The Librarian”) by Guiseppe Arcimboldo is one of the many images available under an open license, and as a high resolution download, from LSH These three museums, which join together to create one unit maintained by the Swedish government, is funded by the tax payers of Sweden.
