Georgios Tsiras (ID: 00000091a04b2543) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/25/2024 February 2024 Anyone getting the same behavior?, when in a new tab I press the upper left button (top sites button) I get an error page "The webpage at chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_INVALID_URL"

CRISTINA NING BELDA GARCÍA (ID: 000000a42da7d344) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 10/21/2023 Siempre me sale las mismas obras de artes. Me gustaría que sea más diversos.

Matthijs VO (ID: 000000c773795397) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/14/2023 Love the idea, wish it was executed better. - After just a while you notice the pool of artworks really isn't that large, the same stuff tends to circulate quite often - Low quality images, and even then often very unflatteringly cropped. Adding borders to keep the right proportions would be much more respectful to the artwork in my opinion.

Sarah H. (ID: 00000030d6781d7e) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/14/2023 My friend recommended it to me and I just tried it out today. It works, and does exactly what it says in the description. It's great, the artworks are very picturesque, but there are a few nit-picky points I'd like to say. The resolution isn't the highest, but it isn't extremely low either. I have to press the refresh button myself when I want to see a different artwork, and I would have liked it if the extension did that itself every time I opened a new tab page.

Ramin Amin Tafreshi (ID: 000000a7646c6381) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/06/2023 I LOVE Google Arts & Culture and for many years I'm constantly visiting their app on my phone. However, despite of the fact that I was extremely happy to see this chrome extension, I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the pictures that show up on the background. Especially I have a huge monitor with 4k display and the paintings just don't feel beautiful. I'm not sure if there are ways to fix this issue, but nevertheless Arts & Culture project is amazing by itself.
