Order your images from the National Museum of World Cultures.
You can download low‑resolution images yourself from our database, which you can find HERE. The National Museums of World Culture continuously publish high‑resolution images of objects or photographs from the collections on Wikimedia Commons. These can be downloaded free of charge.
You can also order high‑resolution images in the formats available in the database by filling in the form below or by sending an email to image-request@varldskulturmuseerna.se. Unfortunately, not all images are available in high‑resolution format.
For these orders, fees apply in accordance with the regulations for the release of public documents.
Nine images are free of charge. The tenth image costs SEK 50, and SEK 2 for each additional image thereafter.
For large orders, provisions for an “exceptional situation” may be applied, meaning a fee of SEK 125 per commenced quarter hour.
For orders of images of objects or photographs from the collections that have not yet been digitised and/or are not available in high resolution, the authority charges a handling fee for the work involved in producing the images. However, the National Museums of World Culture do not charge any usage or publication fee.
When using images from the authority, the following credit must always be stated: “OBJECT CC BY, Inventory number xxxx.xx.xxxx. Source: National Museums of World Culture.”
Please also state the photographer’s name, if available.
