Art Project - New Tab
Description from store

This extension replaces the default "New Tab" page with a clean and organized page showcasing a wide range of masterpieces, from renowned artists like Van Gogh and Monet to contemporary works by street artists worldwide.

Key Points:
1. The extension utilizes the Google Arts & Culture database to display these artworks. Each artwork includes clickable titles and links to the creators.
2. The extension stores up to 5 artworks in the browser's cache storage to improve responsiveness.
3. All new artworks are fetched directly from the Google Arts & Culture website.
4. Each artwork is displayed for 24 hours before being replaced with a new one. If you don't like a particular one, you can use the refresh button to see a different random artwork.

What is the "Google Arts & Culture" service (from Wikipedia)?
Google Arts & Culture features content from over 2000 prominent museums and archives partnered with the Google Cultural Institute to bring the world's treasures online. It uses high-resolution image technology, allowing users to explore partner organizations' collections, and galleries, and access detailed information about the artworks. The platform also offers advanced search capabilities and educational tools.

I like it a lot, but as other stated, sometimes the quality is so bad that I could not see any valuable details in the paintings.

It's a great idea but the resolution is low that all the paintings are blurry
