Getty Open Content Program

Making images from Getty’s collections freely available for study, teaching, and enjoyment

The Open Content Program makes high-resolution images of public domain artwork from the Getty collections freely available, without restrictions, to advance the research, teaching, and practice of art and art history.

The initiative also aims to support and promote the open-access movement among museums and cultural heritage institutions in removing barriers to the use of cultural heritage images. 

Since 2013, over 160,000 images of public-domain art and archives in the Getty collections have been made freely available. Cataloging, digitization, rights review, and publishing of the collections are ongoing, adding more images to the Program monthly.

Images in the Open Content Program regularly appear in academic and commercial publications, products and merchandise, and movies and TV.
