What is The Museum Without Walls? It's an online art gallery of over 63,000 pictures in 200 galleries. It's daily doses of the world's great art straight to your Facebook feed, all accompanied by mostly original commentary that provide useful background information about the work, artist, style, subject and/or historical period. It's daily "exhibits" featuring the work of a single artist or group of artists. Michelangelo, Vermeer, Goya, Blake, Turner, Rodin, Van Gogh, Picasso, Escher, Edward Hopper...you'll find them all here and much more. Since most of the pictures in each gallery include background commentary, it's like having a library of art books available at the click of your mouse. In short, a great resource for artists, art teachers, and art lovers.

History: The Museum Without Walls was a popular online project of the Virtual Communities Network (1994-1997), a not-for-profit content provider for the early Internet headed by the "curator" of this virtual museum as an adjunct to his ISP business, 21st Century Communications. All the artworks here and in the accompanying "exhibits" were originally scanned from quality print reproductions and digitally enhanced by the volunteers of the Museum Without Walls Project. The original MWW contained over 14,000 images. This new page is an attempt to make it available to a wider audience.
This virtual museum is dedicated to André Malraux, who first envisaged how photography would transform the creation and viewing of art.
Keats wrote: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." So treat yourself to a little joy today. Start the day off right with a good cup of coffee and a stroll through the Museum Without Walls.
