100,000 images for the Paris Museum of Art are now available online.

Paris Musées announced yesterday that it is now offering 100,000 digital reproductions of artworks in the city’s museums as Open Access — free of charge and without restrictions — via its Collections portal. Paris Musées is a public entity that oversees the 14 municipal museums of Paris, including the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Petit Palais, and the Catacombs. Users can download a file that contains a high definition (300 DPI) image, a document with details about the selected work, and a guide of best practices for using and citing the sources of the image.

The pictures are freely usable for almost all purposes. There is one little snag, the website is in French. Remember, qui is yes, non is no, and you’ll probably be able to navigate the rest of the site.
