Crowdsourcing The V & A Collection

by Andrew

If the thought of yet another lunch break or evening is to be spent idly flitting from the sources of blips on your social radar then perhaps you would enjoy the challenge in helping the Victoria and Albert museum to find the best crop (or view) of their collection of 116867 items.

Once past a simple sign up screen your task is to select the best crop and zoom of the images to provide the best viewing experience for those searching the collection.

Because the images are always square it may not be possible to achieve a useful crop showing the whole object, but we can make them display more interesting details so that users of the browse wall get the best possible experience.
