  • Good news and bad news

    The good news is there is a new website giving online access to paintings, photos, films, books, maps and manuscripts from 1,000 museums, national libraries and archives across Europe.

    The bad news is it has crashed already because it attracted millions more hits than expected, and isn't going to be back up until next month!

      I don't see why thousands of people had to search for the Mona Lisa on it, anyway - surely they can find that on Google images?
