[Wikimediaindia-l] Museums access for photographers
Hello, I would like to document the Calico Museum of Textiles in Ahmedabad [1][2], one of the greatest textile museum in the world, but photography is currently forbidden there. There is currently nothing on Wikimedia Commons about it. Maybe a formal request from Wikimedia India may help getting a permission. Several days will be necessary, as the museum is pretty big. Permission to use a tripod is also necessary. In addition, I am proud to announce a new featured picture from India on Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hindu_Bride,_Ahmedabad,_Gujarat.jpg Translations into Indian languages would be great. ;) Best regards, Yann [1] http://www.calicomuseum.com/ [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico_Museum_of_Textiles ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

I think the Chapter could write a letter of request? As for the picture, it looks great!

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Museums access for photographers
Hey Yann, I tried getting in touch with people there a long time ago. Then I realized my best bet would be to get in touch with Mallika Sarabhai, the activist/entrepreneur whose family owns the museum and runs it. She is a progressive person and might be excited by this idea of putting Calico museum on the Wikipedia map. I'll try look for her contact details but your best bet would be to write to her on Facebook and tell her about this. I hope this helps.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] Museums access for photographers
Great idea, Noopur! I would suggest directly getting in touch with Kartikeya Sarabhai, as he is a Wikipedia enthusiast and would be happy to extend support. You can call his office at the Center for Environment Education (ceeindia.org) and set up an appointment.

Oh I didn't know this bit. But yeah, this is great :) One of the Sarabhais can just help you out do an entire GLAM project there. Best luck Yann! Thanks Anirudh!
