+## MAMe Dataset: Museum Artworks Medium
+
+The MAMe Dataset is an image classification dataset focused on the recognition of mediums in artworks and heritage held by museums (e.g., Oil on canvas, Bronze or Woodcut).
+
+The classes considered in the MAMe dataset comprise a wide variety of mediums according to both interpretations of the term. These can range from simple material aspects (e.g., Bronze, Silver or Gold) to complex, high-level techniques (e.g., Faience, Woodblock or Woven fabric). The variety of relevant features in MAMe requires both attention to detail and to the overall image structure.

+### Dataset Variants: TODO
+
+- **MAMe_small**: A toy version of the dataset, optimized for quick experimentation and lighter storage needs.
+- **MAMe_original**: The original version of the dataset, meant for detailed tasks requiring precision in material classification.
+

+
+### Dataset Description
+
+The MAMe dataset contains thousands of artworks from three different museums, and proposes a classification task consisting on differentiating between 29 mediums (i.e. materials and techniques) supervised by art experts.
+
+- **Curated by**: HPAI
+- **License**: The MAMe dataset is available for non-commercial research purposes only.
