art for everyday of the year

I don't remember where I read about this, but a while back I somehow stumbled upon the mother lode of free art. It is pages upon pages of amazing, wonderful, unique art! The NY Public Library Digital Gallery is.the.place. for all this fabulous goodness. 

Who can forget this gorgeous room from the late Domino Magazine? Well, see that pretty art above the bed? Yup, that can be found in that gallery right here!

How about an old map for your living room wall? There's plenty of those.

It is such an eclectic mix of art as well. You can even do a search for specific items. 

 Trochilus moschitus (ruby-crested humming-bird) native of the West Indian islands.

Limodorum tankerwillae

Insectes : Hyménoptères, pl. 1.

There's no reason to have bare walls now.
