There is no limit to the number of images you can find on the Internet. There are severe limits, however, on the number of images that you can download and use in whatever capacity you see fit. But, good news: the pool of images that can be freely downloaded and used just became a bit less limited. The Los Angeles Community Museum of Art started an experiment two years ago in which they made 2,000 high resolution images of artwork that they deemed to be public works available for download without copyright restrictions. Since then, they have made ten times that many images available, offering 20,000 high resolution images. All they want to know is: "What are you going to do with them?"
To find the free images:
- Head on over to the Collections website.
- Type a keyword into the Search the Collection field and press [enter].
- To the right of the search field, select Show only results with unrestricted images.
My search for cat turned up 105 unrestricted image results.
