Rijksmuseum: Many of the paintings of this famous Dutch museum can now be viewed online.
I had the pleasure of visiting the Rijksmuseum last October. An excellent collection of the great masters, but I have to confess that I enjoyed my visit to the Heineken Museum more! Maybe it was the 3 beer tickets that were included in the admission price?

London's Tate Galleries have 25,000 works online. The Guggenheim sites are good, too

I should say Britain's Tate Galleries - there in Liverpool and St. Ives, too.

Nice! Bill Gates hasn't bought the digital display copyrights to everything! Very nicely executed.

Tate Galleries site looked quite interesting. Nice captions. I do wish though, that the size of images were bigger.

Thanks for the link, I spent three or four happy hours in Amsterdam looking for culture a couple of weeks ago. I totally failed to find the Rijkmuseum (as well as the Van Gough and Anne Frank museums). Now I know what I missed.
