## Description

<strong>TouchOfBeauty turns every new tab into a full screen work of art.</strong>

When you open a tab you see one random piece of art. Hover near the bottom and you get the title, artist, date, and a link to the original source.
The art comes from two places: the Metropolitan Museum of Art API and a curated catalog of Google Arts and Culture works. Paintings are the default, but you can choose to include photographs, sculpture, prints, ceramics for Met results.
