About Museum Exposure

At Museum140 we love numbers, so we could not let such a date as 11.11.11 pass by without doing something to mark the occasion. We've decided to create a photographic time capsule here on Flickr to capture a snapshot of museums around the world on this one particular day in time.

We've called it Museum Exposure because we liked the play on words: exposure is a term commonly used in photography, the main focus of our project, but by adding the photographs to the time capsule the museums are also being exposed, i.e. presented.

You may have taken part in similar photography projects before, but this one is different in that all photographs must have been taken on that day, i.e. 11th November 2011, so no old photographs please, and there's also a limit to the number of photographs you can contribute (a maximum of, you might have guessed it, 11 photographs). Both individual people, whether you work in a museum or are just visiting that day, as well as museums themselves are invited to take part.

How to take part
1. Join this Flickr group (i.e. Museum Exposure)
2. Grab your camera on 11th November, head out to your nearest museum (perhaps you even work in one, in which case you won't have far to go^^) and get snapping!
3. Choose up to a maximum of 11 photographs (or fewer) and upload them to the group. You don't need to upload them the same day, the group will stay open for a while.

Please remember to respect the photography policies of the museums you are visiting!
