Product Description
From Children's Software Revue® -- "Subscribe Now!"
A terrific selection of 150 works of art are showcased in this program, including paintings, sculptures and artifacts from all time periods. An index organized by date, theme, country, artist and artworks makes it easy to explore each genre of art. The background music is pleasant for browsing, and the narration serves up interesting tidbits of information about each piece of art. Fascinating details of cave paintings, for instance, are highlighted and discussed, helping to develop children's understanding of the art of prehistoric times. The CD nicely presents an overview of art history and would be useful in home or school settings.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Misnamed, but a lot of fun,
By A Customer
This review is from: Great Museums of the World (CD-ROM)
The package should more properly be called "Great Art Museums of Europe", since there are a lot of great museums that aren't art museums, and a lot of great art museums that aren't in Europe. However, ignoring this technicality, the software is a lot of fun. It includes two CDs that cover major European museums, and three CDs dedicated exclusively to the Louvre. Everything is organized around "tours", available on a variety of art styles, regions (mostly in Europe, with a special section for the Egyptian collection in the Louvre), and topics (from the Virgin Mary to eroticism). If you aren't looking for anything in particular, it is great to just sit back and let the tours run. If you try to go beyond the tours, however, it is not so good - the interface is navigable, but not intuitive, and the works included are comprehensive at the masterpiece level, but thin out very quickly below the point of "everyone has heard of it".

Might have been nice if it had worked!,

This review is from: Great Museums of the World (CD-ROM)
Just a word to the wise, I purchased three different copies of this software, and every single one came up with the same problem. I couldn't load the last 3 cd's. I have a Dell Pentium 3 450Mhz computer with 16 gigs of hard drive space, so I know it wasn't my computer. This product never worked and I would have to dicourage any person looking to puchase it. What a disapointment!

Value and Scope,
This review is from: Great Museums of the World (CD-ROM)
This is amazing for the money. For those of us who long, and I mean long, for a trip abroad, this is well worth many times the cost. I run a 633MHZ, Intel Celeron and it runs like a dream. Very authentic in atmosphere and effect. The scope is wonderful - a taste of the architecture, the art, and the history.You must understand that I am of the older generation - we were stuck with expensive books or saving for these trips. Maybe that is why this tour seems so valuable to me. What can I say? Hey, I'm happy...
