National Museum Warsaw and Partage Plus project awarded with the Sybilla 2015 prize

The National Museum Warsaw (MNW) received the Polish Sybilla 2015 award in the category "Best Digitisation Project" for the participation in the Partage Plus project. The international project kicked off in March 2012 with the aim of digitizing and 3D scanning more than 79.000 art works from the Art Nouveau period. All items were made available via the Euopeana platform and can be accessed under the following link. The Partage Plus team, composed of 25 partner institutions from all over Europe, feels immensely honoured by this award and thanks the organizers of Sybilla 2015 for this mention.

Knox Knox, who’s there?

After the success of the European Showcase at OpenCulture 2013, the Partage Plus project is thrilled to announce the addition of the collection of Archibald Knox from Manx National Heritage.

Knox famously worked for Liberty & Co and designed everything from silver teapots to slate gravestones and grocer’s bank cheques. His innovative and intricate designs were in the vanguard of the Art Nouveau movement and through his interpretation the art of the Manx crosses was transformed into iconic modern design.
