Great app!

I've been finding new artwork through the app, and the friends feature is great for sending friends artwork you think they will like!

Incredible resource for artists in Academia

I have discovered works from my favorite artists that I never knew about using this app!
Instead of seeing the same 10 or so most popular works over and over again, it has a catalog of all their pieces held across every museum. UI is sleek, with links directly to the collections.
As you use the app more, it really refines what it shows you to fit your taste. I have discovered so many interesting pieces that give me inspiration for my own practice.
