Louvre, The: Virtual Visit (2001 Edition)
© 2001 Montparnasse Multimedia
Just like the real thing, it's too easy to get lost in this virtual visit to the Louvre. Three nonintegrated CDs provide a wealth of content, but getting where you want to go is often difficult. On the positive side, you can tour 20 rooms of the museum in first person perspective, or you can take guided tours. Nine hundred masterpieces are indexed and photographed; 400 works of art are profiled with analysis and expert commentary. Powerful magnifiers let you zoom in for detail. Unfortunately, there is no way to search the information, and navigation is confusing at best. Note that there is a DVD version available with searching capabilities.
