Rijksmuseum

The Rijksmuseum Open Data Set is a set of more than 111,000 objects descriptions (metadata) and digital images from the collection of the Rijksmuseum. The works of art and objects in the set date from antiquity to the late Nineteenth Century. The set includes paintings and prints (from the great masters of the Golden Age to anonymous medieval biblical paintings), ceramics, furniture, silverware and doll houses plus miniatures and so on.

The objects can be requested via the OAI-PMH protocol at: http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/api. Developers can apply for an API key at the website of the Rijksmuseum. This key is used to get access to the XML file of the entire set. Once you have applied for a key, you will receive a confirmation email with a URL that gives you personal access to our collection. Information on how you can harvest via OAI-PMH can be found at: http://www.openarchives.org. We have a python script available on our website with which you can download our data easily. Further information can be found on our website. Our data is available in OAI Dublin Core. A specification of Dublin Core can be found at: http://www.dublincore.org.

Examples for use
Our Open Data set is rich in content, subject and form so there are many opportunities to develop new applications: we have objects of Novaya Zemlya, works of art from the Golden Age, hundreds of artworks Rembrandt and as many as four paintings by Vermeer! Our collections are from historical (VOC Peace of Munster, The Republic, slavery), from Geographical (Walking tours through Amsterdam and other cities, map data) or from materials (ceramics, glass, silverware) reuse. However, our objects may also be used in a completely different way. You can picture elements sampling, mixing images, analyzes and perform statistical analysis on images or descriptions.
