digitaltmuseum.org !!!

Collections from a bunch of norwegian and swedish museums! Art! Clothing! Furniture! Farming equipment! Archaeological finds!

You need to use norwegian and/or swedish terms to search, but google translate will help you with that pretty easily, unless you're getting extremely specific. And honestly, if you are, message me, and I'll do my best to help. I love DigitaltMuseum.

I stole my latest embroidery pattern from this old tablecloth in Maihaugen museum's collection.

everybody say THANK YOU MUSEUMS WHO PUT THEIR COLLECTIONS ONLINE so that we can DRAW THE THINGS WITHOUT BEING IN LONDON

#the search terms can be a bit... inconsistent #cause the database publishes from the museum catalogs and the entries are made by loads of people #some of them museum professionals whose only job is entering and updating object information #and some of them volunteers just doing what they think is right #and some people are a bit... overspesific with their general terms #but its a great resource!!
