ColorOurCollections. Coloring pages from the world's largest libraries

Last updated on 12 May 2026

#ColorOurCollections is a beautiful operation launched by the world's largest libraries and museums. Many of them gave themselves the word for publish coloring images from their collections. 

Coloring boards are fashionable, It even seems that coloring makes it possible to fight the stress of modern life. So you might as well relax on exceptional works of art. The institutions involved in this operation (mainly American) have therefore published colouring boards or books for download.. It's up to you to have fun with and then publish your creations or those of your students on Twitter and other social networks. I love the idea.

To follow the results, you have to use the hashtag #ColorOurCollections on Twitter. Here is a first List of coloring boards and books to download for free I count on you to complete the list with your discoveries.

A special mention for the Europeana library, which publishes, from what I have seen so far, one of the most beautiful colouring books of this operation.
