Sources & Rights

Clear, traceable sources for the artworks you see.

Kids Art Lab keeps artwork sources, image credits, and available rights information close to each artwork and its story.

How we source images

No loose image sourcing

We do not use random search results, wallpaper sites, social reposts, or images with unknown origins.

Whenever possible, artwork images come directly from official museum collections or trusted open-access records. When the collection record and the digital image source are different, we identify both.

On every artwork page

What families can check

Each artwork page identifies the artist, title, date, collection, and source record. It also includes the source and credit information available for the particular digital image used on the page.

An artwork and its digital image are not always governed by the same rights. An old artwork may be in the public domain, while a particular photograph or digital reproduction may have its own credit, licence, or conditions of use.

Our standard

Sources that are clear and traceable

A beautiful image is not enough. Its origin should be understandable, traceable, and appropriate for the way it appears on the site.

Traceable records

Families can follow the links to the museum collection record and, when different, the source of the digital image used.

Clear attribution

Artist, title, date, collection, image source, and required credit remain connected to the artwork.

Separate review

Artwork identity, editorial quality, audio quality, image quality, and digital image rights are reviewed separately.

Artwork sources

Collection records, image sources, and available rights information

The entries below identify the collection record and the particular image source used for each published artwork. Rights notes apply to the digital image identified in that entry and should not be read as a general statement about every reproduction of the artwork.
