The document discusses the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe's approach to making its collection data openly available and reusable. Some key points: - The museum launched a website in 2015 providing open access to around 3,000 digitized objects using open licenses like CC0 to waive all copyright restrictions. - Making the data openly available online has led to increased usage, with over 20,000 downloads and shares of collection content. - Opening the collection has shifted the museum's perception of itself from sole owner and gatekeeper of the collection to a facilitator and collaborator, with online audiences now seen as co-authors. - New applications and reuses of the open collection data have emerged, like

Shift in perception of collection:
We are not owners of the collection!
Shift in perception of mission:
We are facilitators instead of gatekeepers!
Shift in perception of audiences:
Our (online) visitors are co-editors, co-
authors, co-creators, collaborators!!
