Excellent. I've been using it for about 2 days now with heavy browser usage and many new tabs. So far, I haven't seen one repeat so their catalogue must be at least 30 images large. So far I've been introduced to some interesting, occasionally strange, art. I wish other museums had an extension like this one.

I would love this extension if it had more than 10 pictures in rotation. Since it's been that way for years I doubt it's going to get better any time soon.
