Its a great extension, shows you an art image and you can click it to be taken to a page with more information about the art and artist. However, as others have noted there are only a handful of images in rotation so after a while you see the same images over and over. Looks like it was last update in March 2022 so I don't see that changing any time soon unfortunately.

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.
