Using digital images

You are permitted to use any of the images that are available on the British Museum website subject to our terms of use.

The Museum will also grant a licence to use a larger version of an image, free of charge, subject to additional terms and conditions. These include usage in:

• non-commercial research or private study (unpublished), or
• one-off classroom use in a school, college or university
• presentation or lecture without entrance fee, including PowerPoint,
• reproduction within a thesis document submitted by a student at an educational establishment (an electronic version of the research may be made available online provided that it is at no cost to the end user)
• reproduction within (but not on the cover of) an academic (peer-reviewed) book, journal article or booklet, provided that the publication is published by an organisation set as a charity, society, institution or trust existing exclusively for public benefit and that the publication has a print-run of no more than 4,000 copies. E-book rights are not covered; for these please contact sales@bmimages.com.

The image will be supplied in JPEG format, with the longest edge at 2,500 pixels, which will appear at a maximum of 21 cm (A5) when printed at 300 dpi. Please note the image may not have been cleaned or colour-managed.

You will need to register with your name, address and email address, and give details of the use you will make of the image. It will then be sent to you as an email attachment.
