Dropping this here for inspiration. It is a FiveThirtyEight piece that takes the recently released Metropolitan Museum of Art dataset and pulls out some interesting insights:

Lots of stuff about vases 🏺⚱️🏺
This is awesome! One small suggestion, maybe re-title the theme "cultural heritage data"? Or "museum, library, and archive data"? Bigger bucket might pull more folks and encourage cross institutional collaboration.
@thomasgpadilla yes, I was thinking the same!
a couple of more examples:
National Library of the Netherlands https://www.kb.nl/bronnen-zoekwijzers/dataservices-en-apis
University of Pennsylvania http://openn.library.upenn.edu/
British Library http://www.bl.uk/collection-guides/datasets-for-content-mining http://www.bl.uk/collection-guides/datasets-for-image-analysis
Tate Modern https://github.com/tategallery/collection
University of Miami https://github.com/UMiamiLibraries/collections-as-data
