What's Hot On The Internet

Check out googleartproject.com. This way-cool site allows you to view and download a variety of works of art (mostly paintings) from museums around the world. Washington, D.C.'s own Freer Gallery is represented on the site with several works. The images are high resolution, so you can zoom in on them without any blurriness occurring . Granted, seeing art on a computer screen is not nearly as exciting as seeing it in person -- but on a bitter cold winter's day it's awfully nice to be able to visit a museum without risking frostbite getting there.
