I saw this at a hotel in St. Louis. Probably worth $10/month for the cool factor in their lobby. (I'm pretty sure it wasn't a WMPC, but those pictures look very familiar)

Not to poo poo this idea (it is good for commerical users) but $120 a year gets me an annual membership for two to a world-class art musuem.

for example, I recently saw Renoir's famous Luncheon of the Boating Party in person. And it is nothing like those ubiquitous dorm room poster or as shown in the art coffee books.

Plus you get to go out of the house.

I guess this is a good choice if you can't afford the real thing. :lol: (Running and ducking.)

Really though, I'd rather purchase some of the works individually. Looks like they're only $2 a piece.
