Rights and Reproductions

A limited number of images of objects in Minnesota Museum of American Art’s collection are available for research and publication. To request an image, fill out the order form and submit to Nicole Delfino Jansen at ndelfino@mmaa.org.

Note that Minnesota Museum of American Art does not hold copyright for most images in its collection. The museum may supply photographic materials, but each applicant is responsible for obtaining copyright permission from the copyright holder for their use, unless images are in the public domain.

Use of Digital Materials or Photographs

Permission is granted for one-time use only. Applicant may not use the images for any other purpose than that which is declared at the time the image request is made without submitting an additional permission request. Any unauthorized use, for any reason, will render the applicant responsible and liable to the Museum for appropriate compensation and other costs, regardless of whether the applicant has profited from or is responsible for such unauthorized use.

Where no image exists, photography may sometimes be made to order, depending on the Museum’s work schedule and upon payment of a new photography fee. Transparencies and digital images resulting from such new photographs remain the property of the Museum.

You may not use requested image(s) or the name of Minnesota Museum of American Art in advertising without the express prior written permission of the Museum. Images shall not be used to show or imply that the Museum endorses any commercial product or enterprise, concurs with the opinions expressed in, or confirms the accuracy of any text used with the image(s).
