High Sketchfab representation stems from the Malopolska’s Virtual Museums project to digitise collections primarily using 3D technologies.[2] In addition to Sketchfab, high resolution assets (some at gigapixel resolution) from the 43 museums are available on the project platform accompanied by educational and contextual materials.[3] The project was co-funded by the Malopolska Institute of Culture, Economic Development Department and European Regional Fund.
Two national museums publish public domain compliant assets via their own website: Muzeum Narodowe w Krakowie and Muzeum Narodowe w Warszawie. Biblioteka Narodowa contributes the largest volume of public domain compliant assets via Europeana (580,794 or 30.5% of total volume in Poland).
