OpenStreetMap
I have regularly visited the Middelheim museum in Antwerp. It is part of a park, free to visit, dogs are allowed (on the lead) and it’s not too far away. Until 2 weeks ago I never bothered to map it. it was just of of those places that I visit.
Two weeks ago, we had a meetup in Antwerp. One of the topics we discussed was mapping the Antwerp Zoo. There I got the idea to map the museum in more detail.
So after 2 visits, I have mapped about 2/3 of the artwork (statues, sculptures, constructions). For each piece I recorded the name, the artist and the “construction” date as indicated on the information panels next to each item.
This is the map so far http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/en/map/standbeelden-in-middelheimpark_19613#16/51.1829/4.4175
I cannot add pictures of all items, as in Belgium we do not have freedom-of-panorama. I could have done it for older work, but I tend to forget the exact age.
I hope to add the last third with my next visit.

Freedom of Panorama for sculptures in Belgium seems to be dependent of its copyright status, i.e. free from the 71st year after the artist’s death. See here. So “De ijsbeer” by François Pompon should be ok to shoot.
Maybe you better also have a closer look at the related law which is mentioned in the artice at Wikipedia Commons.

Thanks for the correct explanation, zarl. At this moment I’m not going to investigate the death of each artist, just to add an image URL to some of the sculptures. People should go to the museum and check out the art for themselves :-)
