New word of the day:

Gigapixel.  Per Google's ambitious Art Project, which shows "street views" of galleries in some of the world's most famous museums.  Some details in super-high resolution (thus the gigapixel), which is good fun on a computer screen.  What do we think of this?  Bad for actual museum-going?  Good for demystifying the art world?  Discuss.
