Mapping the art 🗺️
At @smk, we've mapped the motifs in artworks in the museum collection to coordinates 📍
This makes the art explorable by location (the more ways to explore, the better, in our humble opinion).
See it in action @ our online collection SMK Open: https://open.smk.dk/en/map?q=*#2.16/70.25/-19.32

Footnote # 1: This replaces an earlier, less integrated setup
Footnote # 2: We've replaced Google Maps with @openstreetmap

Very cool! I made a query to see what information Wikidata has. This shows 385 things in the SMK collections depicting something with a coordinate. It also shows the image of the artwork and Wikidata's image of the depicted thing if it has either of those.

@ainali @smk Wow, that is actually extremely nice. We already pull in Wikidata keywords for artworks. Maybe we should create a connection for coordinates...

@jonassmith @smk
really nice work. How were they mapped, based on what they show or where they were painted? Just wondering because i just came across this case where the sketch and the actual picture where located differently.

@loechti @smk Thanks! Well, they are supposed to be mapped by what they depict :) Will look into that specific case ✨
