Notes

creators, culture, provenance, and exhibitions are serialized as JSON strings. Use JSON.parse() to access the underlying arrays.
The collection contains approximately 68,700 artworks. A full walk with default page size completes in a few minutes.
All open-access image URLs serve from CMA's CDN and are freely usable under CC0.
The API imposes no authentication requirements and no published rate limit. This actor uses a conservative 300ms delay between pages to be a polite client.

The CMA was one of the first major museums to adopt CC0 licensing for its open access collection, making this one of the richest freely available museum datasets.
