I have been poking around the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco site. With 82,000 digitised art works there is a feast of eye candy for any one.
I got lost for a couple of hours in the My gallery section of the site. Then started using keywords such embroidery, lace and the like.
It was my downfall as there is an option to “zoomify” which will reveal close up details that take you far closer to see any object than you would be able to get in normal circumstances. This meant I was lost for a couple hours looking at goodies in their collection.
Sabrina – you are definitely ON! would love to do that
so would you like to go visit the museums when you are in SF?? you can see the Cranach up close and personal.
How in the world did you find strength to drag yourself away to write about it??!!! My goodness, what an awesome link…THANK YOU! (I think; if you see no new comments on your posts in the next four days, then YOU got me lost in the 82,000 pix!!!)
“Zoomify”… I love that word!!
