Hello all We're currently redesigning our website and a question came up. I'm hoping to cull some information from the museum community about how other museums handle the same situation.
On our exhibition page the redesign relies heavily on landscape image similar to this - where text floats to the left of a landscape image then switches on the next exhibit listing. ------------ ••••••••••• ----text---- • Image • ------------ ••••••••••• ••••••••••• ------------ • Image • ----text---- ••••••••••• ------------ ------------ ••••••••••• ----text---- • Image • ------------ ••••••••••• The design requires the images to all be the same size for it to look it's best, meaning they would be cropped in a lot of cases. We came across a lot of museum sites with similar requirements during our discovery phase. My question is - how are museums handling this? Do you secure rights for cropping artwork? How difficult has it been if so? Are museums offering a full image view on click of the cropped image? Are there museums throwing caution to the wind? Very interested in hearing from you all!
