Douglas McCarthy, Art & Photography Collections Manager, Europeana

Friederike Fankhänel, Educator of Art and Design, Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg

How do art educators find and use digitised collections to create teaching materials? In what ways do museum licensing policies affect – and limit – educational reuse?

Using fresh, real-world examples from the development of MKG’s Art Nouveau web journal, and Europeana’s Art Nouveau season, Friederike and Douglas will explore these questions from the perspectives of the art educator, the museum licensor and the audience. Workshop participants will be encouraged to share their experiences and discuss how open licensing can give museum collections greater impact in this area.
