About the data

The catalogue data comes from a living collection catalogue with information gathered since the 1830s, and the API shows the records as they stand at the moment. Some records may be out of date. Some may contain language or ideas that today may be perceived as outdated, offensive or discriminatory, relating for example to gender, sexuality, ethnicity or disability, and that may be at odds with the museum's values of equality and diversity. The museum works continuously to improve the records and welcomes suggestions for improvement.

The numbers change with ongoing cataloguing. Extracting official figures and statistics about the collection from the API is therefore discouraged. If you need official figures, contact the museum.

AI-generated data at the ext level (keywords for semantic search) is machine-made and may contain errors.

Responsibility

Use of the API does not mean that Nasjonalmuseet is behind, approves or recommends a project or service. You are responsible for how you use and present the data.
