4. National Gallery of Art in London
http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/
This extraordinary collection which represents the whole history of European painting is now virtually completely online. But there are a number of bugs which they need to fix. Don't be discouraged by results of simple searches that seem twisted. There are a number of tricks which will assist you searching this site. One is to use some broad search themes like altarpieces, landscape, still life, religious paintings, angels and lots of other stuff. These will work and will produce the results visitors are looking for.
Also hidden from view is the equivalent of three CD's produced in previous years by the Gallery of three of their greatest treasures: Eyck's Arnolfini Portrait, Renoir's The Umbrellas and Botticelli's Mystical Nativity. To access these exhibits, go to the Exploring Paintings section. There is also a Eurosearch function which allows you to search the Louvre, Hermitage, Van Gogh Museum, Mauritshuis and a few other web sites.
And you can download the whole catalogue of their latest exhibit, Encounters: New Art from Old, which presents us with the reflections of contemporary masters such as Balthus, Bill Viola, Francesco Clemente, Lucian Freud, and David Hockney among others as in the process of creating works inspired by paintings in the permanent collection, truly an event in the world of art. I recommend you to be patient with this site it will eventually be a wonderful source of pleasure and enlightenment.
