ODI Fridays lunchtime lectures

Jo Pugh will look at tax exempt art, Britain’s most obscure public art collection and ask what’s the future for open culture

Friday 03 March 2017, 1:00pm – 1:00pm

Open Data Institute, London

Friday lunchtime lectures at the Open Data Institute. You bring your lunch, we provide tea and coffee, an interesting talk, and enough time to get back to your desk.

The digitisation of public collections has made great works of art available globally, at the click of a mouse. In this talk we’ll look at tax exempt art, Britain’s most obscure public art collection and ask what’s the future for open culture.
