Along the lines of the Wikipedia Loves Art project, in February 2010, bring together eight(?) museums which will have one event each weekend day in February.
Aims
- It benefits the projects - especially Wikipedia - as it generates photos that can be used.
To do
- Get museums involved
- Get sponsors involved (prizes)
- Develop upload facility/transfer of images to Wikipedia
- Develop advertising materials
- Get endorsement from e.g. the London Mayor's office?
Finances
- Have circa £1000 for advertising (inc. e.g. fliers, banners, etc.)
- Prizes - could be sponsored as per Wikipedia Loves Art
Volunteers
- Project Lead: Mike Peel
- User:AndrewRT
- Cfp
- Zeyi
Potential partners
The V&A and the London Transport Museum have expressed an interest in being involved.
We could try to generalise things a bit more - e.g. go a bit more sciency and get the Science Museum and/or Natural History Museum involved, or have an additional focus on architecture. Mike Peel 22:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Tate Gallery might be worth contacting - they donated 400 files free to itunes in April 2009. AndrewRT 21:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
