Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) adopts RightsStatements.org standard for online cultural heritage
Mia’s mission is to make accessible outstanding works of art from the world’s diverse cultures and we believe everyone should be able to engage with that cultural heritage online. We want to make it easier for our website users to understand what they can do with the images of art we share, so Mia has adopted and implemented the *RightsStatements.org* rights statements for online cultural heritage. RightsStatements.org provides a standard set of user-friendly statements in three main rights categories: *In Copyright*, *No Copyright*, and *Other*. Mia will use the RightsStatements.org statements to communicate more effectively and clearly what we know about the copyright and reuse status of art collection images. You will find rights data in every object record ‘Details’ section in Mia’s collections pages (here <https://new.artsmia.org/art-artists/explore/>). For more information on the RightsStatements.org standard see: http://rightsstatements.org/en/. Mia encourages engagement with the contents of our websites in accordance with our *Copyright* and *Image Access & Use* policies. Depending on copyright status in the works of art depicted, users may use, download, and share our website images either freely with no restrictions (for works in the public domain, over 50,000 in our collections <https://collections.artsmia.org/search/rights_type:%22Public%20Domain%22>!), or with some restrictions (copyrighted works or works with other legal restrictions).
