BBC to put 200,000 publicly-owned paintings online
From The Telegraph:
A partnership with the Public Catalogue Foundation charity will see the paintings – 80 per cent of which are not currently on public display – placed on the internet by 2012.
Some are in storage and others – such as 2,500 oil paintings in the Government Art Collection – are scattered across the globe in embassies or municipal buildings.
These include famous portraits of Byron, Mary Queen of Scots and Winston Churchill alongside unfamiliar landscapes, abstract works and specially commissioned pieces.

It sounded to me like the project is just getting underway, so there might not be much (if anything) to look at yet.
