Houston Photobloggers loves the Houston Museum of Natural Science. It is one of the most photography friendly museums in the city and the subjects are always fascinating. Wikipedia also loves our museum and all museums around the country and to prove it there is a photography event this month called Wikipedia Loves Art.
The goal: to create free content that can be used to illustrate educational articles across an almost unimaginable range of topics in everyone’s favorite online encyclopedia. If your photos are chosen for use on Wikipedia, you’ll get full credit in the caption - even better, you can win great prizes!!
You can visit the museum anytime in February to get your photos for the contest. The prize at the Houston Museum of Natural Science is a family membership and tickets to the upcoming Terra Cotta Warriors exhibit. But HMNS is offering something even better than that, if you can image. This Sunday you can go into the museum after hours to take your pictures! Just think, free run of the museum without all those pesky people! For photographers signed up on the Wikipedia Loves Art registration page, the museum will be open from 6 to 9 p.m. Did I mention free?
