Freely usable images

A small request
All 577 photographs come from the collections of the Finnish Museum of Photography. We would like the name of the photographer and the source of the photograph to be mentioned whenever an image is used.
The images can also be found on Flickr.
Guess image is part of the Interpretations and information – learning paths with open materials project, realised by the Finnish Museum of Photography between 2016 and 2018. The innovative national project is funded by the National Board of Antiquities, and a part of the Our Common Heritage project, which celebrates the centenary of Finnish independence.
