      Hi guys,

      There are commercial products out there which show currated art on a magicmirror like picture frame (glas instead of mirror).

      Canvia
      https://palacio.life

      Framen
      http://www.myframen.com

      Meural
      https://meural.com

      Two different paths here

      /1/ has anyone one of these or similar products and tried to get MMM running?

      /2/ I like the idea of subscribing to an art feed. Is there a similar service/solution which can be used to have a similar experience directly on MMM?

      Regards
      Ralf

          @maros Thanks for jumping in. I am using MMM-Wallpaper already.

          Its about a good source for curated art/pictures to show.

          I found Saatchiart, Artspace, Magnum Photos, Albertina, but was not able to find a plugin which pulls comparable sources.

            Of course, there is always a copyright issue to use commercial arts.
            I don’t know whether any kind of public domain arts exists and be open for digital usage. If there is, making module is not so difficult, I think.

                  @Sean yes it looks great but for me the page is little bit slow :( so i’m not sure how fast it will work in module.

                    First thing that came to my mind:
                    “Every piece of art you’ve ever wanted to see – up close and searchable” by Amit Sood at TED, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjB6DQGalU0
                    (if you don’t watch the full 15 min, check 4:00 min)

                    https://artsandculture.google.com/

                    In a quick search, I couldn’t find any current information on whether there is an API, but I’d guess so.

                      @doubleT I cannot find API. I think that is some kind of magazine not service with available API. Anyway, that’s nice program.
                      @Maros NGA doesn’t have API. Maybe crawling can be available, but…

                      I found Rijks Museum (in Amsterdam) and Tate (London) and something else.
                      So, I made MMM-Rijks first.
