Art Institute of Chicago: Art Tab

Sneak some inspiration into your day. See a new, random artwork from the museum's vast collection every time you open a new tab.

One of the world’s major art museums, the Art Institute of Chicago houses an extraordinary collection of objects from across places, cultures, and times. This browser extension pulls from a pool of over 50,000 public domain images of objects in this remarkable collection and greets you with a different piece with each new tab you open. All images displayed in the extension are: • Licensed with an open Creative Commons Public Domain license (CC0). • Downloadable via a link at the bottom of each tab, which means you can use them for your own personal projects. • Clickable to the museum's website, where you can learn more about the individual artworks. Please note that some artworks in the online collection, as in the museum galleries, show nudity.
