About: Brooklyn Museum and The Commons on Flickr

Brooklyn Museum is a member of The Commons on Flickr. Brooklyn Museum images that are part of The Commons are marked as "no known copyright restrictions," indicating that the Museum is unaware of any current copyright restrictions on the works so designated, either because the term of copyright may have expired without being renewed or because no evidence has been found that copyright restrictions apply.

The images we have shared as part of The Commons are for personal research and enjoyment. The Museum does not warrant that the sharing of these images will not infringe upon the rights of third parties holding rights to these works. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy copyright and other use restrictions before copying, transmitting, or making other use of protected items.

It is the policy of the Brooklyn Museum to charge licensing fees for commercial use of these images, which helps fund ongoing efforts to care for our collection.  If you are interested in licensing for commercial use, please contact our archivist for more information.
