Musical Instruments

A grand piano, Erard, ca. 1840.

Hi Pharos, I just realized that the Met collection also contains a whole bunch of musical instruments, which I would like to use as part of my project Wiki Loves Music to illustrate the history of musical instruments in the respective articles, e.g. this 1830 bassoon. Can you tell me where I can stay up to date regarding the planned mass upload? Looking at the Category:Musical instruments in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I understand that so far only one image of a musical instrument, the grand piano on the right, has been uploaded. Thank you, --Gnom (talk) 00:16, 19 February 2017 (UTC)

Images

How do I know if an image is already on here? sometimes when I try to uplooad pictures, its been already uploaded. Any ideas? Also, I'll start uploading the Chinese ones. MechQuester (talk) 21:20, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

upload error

File:The Floods of 1856, Avignon MET DP161485.jpg and File:The Floods of 1856, Avignon MET DP161486.jpg have the wrong images uploaded for the filenames and descriptions. The problem is that the "Floods of 1856" object is accession number 1997.52 and the images actually uploaded are 1997.520 (which is a portrait miniature). 1997.520 is uploaded elsewhere, but those images and descriptions should be double-checked for accuracy. One of them is of that painting with a second painting, with the description matching only one of them, so it needs to be cropped. Laura1822 (talk) 11:13, 11 August 2017 (UTC)

Object categories

Since many potential tags apply to objects, not individual photos of them, I find myself making categories lumping images of an object together:

• Category:Tray stand in brass and silver 14th century MET 91.1.528 (some description)
• Category:Marie Antoinette's sit-stand desk (MET 33.12) (identifying description)
• Category:Traveling table (table de voyage or table pliante), MET 1982.60.83
• Category:Medieval (1508) folding table MET 41.100.135

Given the accession numbers, this could be done automatically. With maybe better descriptive names than mine :). Would this be possible? Thanks for all the great images! HLHJ (talk) 05:57, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
