## 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 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.
