The Mona Lisa has deteriorated from being exhibited even in sunlight, she was so popular. With ultra-high resolution photography in 13 frequencies of light from infra-red to low ultra-violet, and with spectra analysis of the ingredients Leonardo da Vinci had available, and of the varnishes used over time to protect the painting, the Mona Lisa has been "digitally restored". Learn the scientific findings, and see the color and detail that resulted in the rave reviews when people first saw what became the world's most famous painting.
Louvre Web
Museum Paintings and supportive text depict many different eras
and styles of work Virtual Guggenheim is not merely
an online catalog of offline work. It showcases video art and digital
creations too fluid to be in the staid galleries of brick museums...
It is a reinventing of the museum.
National Museum of
American Art The National Museum of American Art,
part of the Smithsonian Institution, has made selections from its collections
available via the web. The site is graphically quite intensive, as might
be expected; loading time is increased by the site's reliance on image
maps for navigation (although some "mostly text pages" are
available). Users will need audio plug-ins to fully experience the site,
which contains in-depth exhibits for the researcher and the visual arts
admirer. These include Highlights of the Permanent Collection, the White
House Collection of American Crafts, and the American Kaleidoscope,
to name a few. Information on publications and exhibit schedules is
also provided. [Scout Report]
