The Tate Gallery in London is perhaps one of the world’s finest museums of modern art, and is well-regarded for its creative online collections and galleries. Most recently they developed a rather novel way to browse through approximately 2000 of their artworks online. They are calling it “Carousel” and this website will allow the curious user to weave their way through this large collection. As their site notes, “It’s like a random walk with a subtle guiding hand”. The works are randomly generated on the site, and visitors can highlight images by clicking on them as they appear and also add them to their “favorites” list. No doubt this site will prove most efficacious for art educators, artists, and those interested in engaging in a bit of a peripatetic online artistic journey.
