The site, in 1996
A virtual art gallery of European fine art made before 1900, mainly Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance, free for study and personal use.
Two Hungarians, Emil Krén and Daniel Marx, opened it in October 1996 as a private project, first hosted on a server at KFKI in Budapest. By 2020 it held more than 48,600 works by over 4,000 artists.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
