Mark Harden's

It doesn't get much more exhaustive than this. You can find virtually any
artistic image here. I encourage you to read the copyright information.
Detroit
Institute of Arts
Home to Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry murals.
Sections of the collection along with general museum information are
available online.
Louvre
The official site for the Louvre includes everything from a visite virtuelle
to an e-boutique. While the site itself isn't new, the Kaléidoscope
section (new to me) allows you to sort online images of works from the museum by a variety
of criteria including themes such as the family, sports, music and daily life.
Centre
Pompidou
The musée link of this site is outstanding. It includes an interactive map of
the collection with digital reproductions of the works. There is also a
section Centre Pompidou Junior
(new to me) with a variety of online activities targeted at the young folk,
including Art en Clic (narrated tours of art works with related videos and
activities), Plus d'Art (an online magazine with activities and a virtual
gallery of children's art) and Media Box (a sort of multimedia online magazine
with audio and video pieces.)

artwork is described in detail.
Fundació
Gala-Salvador Dalí
Oh where, oh where, have the dancing ants gone? The interface has changed
but it is still a media-rich
site will; includes video clips of Dalí in addition to works and texts. Since
my last visit, the site added a really lovely virtual
visit.
