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 subject to additional terms and conditions. These include:
- using images for private purposes in education, teaching, academic study and research
- publishing images in a book, article, thesis or booklet, provided that the publication is non-commercial in purpose, and of an educational, scholarly or academic nature and has a print-run of not more than 4,000
There will be no charge for this service, subject to the usage meeting the full terms of use of the free image service.
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 attachment to an email.
