sourceRegistry.rightsScope

Preserved registry: museum-object-reference; check current image rights before reuse

Current verification: The current official Met object record marks the image Public Domain and the Met Open Access statement permits unrestricted reuse of public-domain images.

The BIU005 archive snapshot records the current image-rights verification while leaving the preserved BIU003/4 source-registry record unchanged.

Uncertainty retained

  • No geography is asserted in this BIU005 archive record because the current verified object metadata used for ingestion did not establish one.
