Cooper Hewitt — Visual Descriptions with CC0 Images

49,253 museum objects, each with a human-written visual description and a CC0 image.

Openly-licensed, human-written, pixel-grounded descriptions of cultural-heritage images are close to non-existent. We swept Zenodo, the Hugging Face Hub (356 image-to-text/VQA datasets) and GitHub looking for them and came up essentially empty — wikimedia/wit_base has a real alt-text field but it is populated on only 4.8% of English rows at a 5-word median ("Municipal office", "Flag of Aga"). This dataset exists because that gap is real.

Everything here is CC0 end to end — image and text — so derivatives can be republished.

What a row looks like

Beach at Low Tide, Cullercoats, England — Winslow Homer, 1881, charcoal on paper

"Horizontal view of a beach at low tide with small boats standing in to port and one boat being beached with a carriage."

Fields

image (CC0, ≤1024px) · description · title · maker · date · medium · object_type · record_id · record_link · image_url · ids_id

Quality flags — we flag, we do not filter. Slice it yourself:

Flag	Meaning	Count
`n_words` / `in_target_band`	16–30 words	15,264
`n_proper_nouns`	proxy for iconographic leakage (see below)	18,557 rows ≥1
`has_artifact`	a dropped word leaving a double space	4,564
`has_format_prefix`	the `"Horizontal rectangle."` convention	2,973
`has_crossref`	cataloguer shorthand (`"a variation of -1638"`)	1,676

A reasonable default: n_words >= 8 and not has_crossref and not has_artifact → 40,541 rows. For a stricter caption seed, add in_target_band and n_proper_nouns == 0.

Read this before you train on it

These are not purpose-written alt-text. The source field is extDescrAccessibility in Smithsonian Open Access — but inspect the record and you find the identical string in freetext.notes as "Description: …". It is the museum's catalogue description note, copied into the accessibility slot. That origin explains everything below.

It leaks iconography. Giani's Venus and Cupid and Satyr (chndm_1901-39-3506) is described as "Antiope reclines at center, apparently asleep." Antiope is not derivable from pixels — a cataloguer knows the Correggio source. Train on this and you teach a model to confidently name figures it cannot see, which is precisely the factual misrecognition failure mode documented for VLMs on heritage images. n_proper_nouns exists so you can avoid it: 62% of rows contain no proper noun at all.

It omits. The Winslow Homer above never mentions the large dark foreground figure standing in the water — the most salient thing in the picture. A cataloguer is not writing for a screen-reader user. Expect selective omission in the ground truth itself.

It is a work in progress. Records carry Catalogue Status: Research in Progress upstream.

So: a strong, large, CC0 seed — not gold-standard alt-text. Human rating still has real work to do on top of it.

Provenance

Metadata: Smithsonian Open Access, unit CHNDM (s3://smithsonian-open-access/metadata/edan/chndm/). CC0.
Images: Smithsonian IDS (ids.si.edu), fetched at max=1024. Every row's first media object carries usage.access == "CC0" — that is the inclusion criterion.
Museum: Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum.

Gotcha for anyone re-harvesting: the EDAN shards are hex-named (00.txt–ff.txt). Iterating 0..99 in decimal silently fetches 100 of 256 shards, returns HTTP 200 throughout, and loses ~60% of the corpus (19,274 rows instead of 49,253).
