Open Images videos in virtual sports exhibition Europeana
In view of the upcoming Olympic Games the digital heritage portal Europeana also focuses on sports. With photos, videos and objects different aspects of (the history of) sports in Europe are shown in a virtual exhibit. The exhibition is divided into four themes: The Olympic and Paralympic Games, Famous European Sports, Football and Ancient Games.
The Sound and Vision set on Open Images has recently also been made a part of Europeana. In the virtual exhibit two videos from this Sound and Vision set were used for the exhibit, in the parts on tennis and cricket:
