Kevin: Quite a bit of the material for these kinds of things is already standing. Here in NYC, for example, when the Metropoliton Art Museum has a special show, they generally have a "walking tour" tape you can rent, with earphones and player, that takes you through the exhibition. They also virtually always have very high quality reproductions of the art on sale as individual prints, or in large "coffee table" books. It would be quite easy for the world's major art museums to pool this material on an annual basis, and create a single "best of" cd, perhaps with several languages, with the visuals digitized at a very high resolution, so you could "zoom" in on it and retain detail. For something like this, the raw material already exists, and has already been paid for. ?|^] Ray Lewis
