THE NEW MUSEUM OF ART

Over 500 paintings by more than 150 artists

This is not a conventional art museum. Its galleries offers paintings and collections but it also takes advantage of the web to offer comparisons between paintings, illustrated essays and biographies, videos of galleries and links to other excellent sites as part of a full painting experience.

This is not a commercial site.
