Art Guide <http://www.artguide.org/>, the Internet guide to art
collections in Britain and Ireland, is now open. 

Art Guide contains details of all the art collections we have been able
to track down - more than 650 institutions - plus 1,900 artists and
their works on display, and hundreds of exhibitions.  Based on extensive
research and a survey of collections we believe that this is the most
comprehensive and useful resource of its kind available (albeit we know
that there are areas where it needs more work !).  We are expanding and
updating it every week. 

Since our subject matter is inexhaustible, Art Guide contains extensive
facilities for visitors to help us fill in the inevitable gaps. 
Comments are gathered together in a Visitors Forum so it is easy to find
out what other people are talking about. 

Please visit Art Guide at <http://www.artguide.org/>.  We hope you will
enjoy using it.  Let us know what you think. 

Art Guide is produced by Cognitive Applications Limited
<http://www.cogapp.com/> as a celebration of Britain and Ireland's
artistic heritage.  We hope that Art Guide will encourage more people to
visit and enjoy it.

Subject: London architecture?

I have recently compiled a Web page whose subject is the architecture of
London and aspects of its urban life that one could at least argue have
to do with its buildings.  Thus "Online resources for London
architecture" at <http://ilex.cc.kcl.ac.uk/year1/architecture.html>.  I
would be most grateful for references to online resources that you think
belong on that page -- keeping in mind that life is short, etc. 

Thanks.

3.  THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE GETTY CENTER

Subject: Getty Architecture Web Site

My associate, Greg Haun, and I have just posted a web site, "The
Architecture of the Getty Center." Although the main purpose is to
celebrate the architecture and the opening this week of the Getty
Center, the site also attempts to demonstrate the potential of the World
Wide Wide for making available a larger number of reasonably high
quality color images than can normally be afforded by print publishers,
whatever the subject.
