MusePaper

Charter

The collection charter

The catalogue is a commons. A collection is a lens on it, never a claim, and no amount of money makes one exclusive.

Museum works remain free

You can browse works from the Met, the Art Institute of Chicago and Smithsonian Open Access. The placard names the artist, title and museum. Museum mode stays free forever.

New prints join the catalogue

When a sponsored batch is drawn, every print joins the catalogue permanently, for the person who paid and for everyone whose collection includes it.

Nobody can buy a subject

A person can ask for moths, orchids, or deep-sea fish. They cannot own that subject, reserve it, or keep it away from another frame.

The placard tells the truth

Museum works carry the artist, date, and holding institution. Rendered work says MusePaper and the date it was made. Local prints say local.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive behaviour. Anything reported is reviewed within 24 hours and removed if it breaks these terms, and the account responsible is blocked.
