WebMUSEUM, Paris This great site has to be seen. Hundreds of classic art works on-line, relatively fast loading. This is why an art lover needs a good video card and a 17+ inch monitor but, very usable for less ambitious hardware setups.. You'll love the art: from the medieval and general collections to the special Paul Cézanne Exhibition A nice small guided tour of Paris is included and more goodies in the What's New section of the site.. A delight of a site. Highly recommended.
