if you're anything like i am...you love a good art gallery. but it's hard to find the time to travel the world to see the really good ones. there are some beautiful paintings out there, but let's face facts, it is just not practical to set off to paris everytime you want to see 'whistler's mother.' well, i've solved that problem for you. here is a gallery composed of some of the world's greatest paintings. an "uber-gallery" if you will. now your desk can be the louvre. just make sure not to take any flash photographs.
