Rodin Museum

A disputed legal outcome involving the Rodin Museum's treatment of 3D scans of its sculptures is drawing criticism, with commentators accusing the institution of betraying the open sharing of public-domain art. Rodin's works are long out of copyright, and many argue museums should not restrict digital copies or claim rights over scans of them.

A new write-up titled 'Treachery in the Rodin Museum 3D scan verdict' is drawing attention on tech discussion forums. The piece appears to examine an unfavorable outcome for the museum in a dispute over 3D scanning of Rodin works, a topic tied to ongoing debates about open access to scans of public-domain art. Details of the ruling and the parties involved remain limited in what is circulating so far.
