Microsoft Art Gallery · 1993 · PC CD‑ROM · Windows · Interactive Reference / Multimedia Art Archive
A classic early‑’90s Microsoft Home title that functions as a guided digital museum, presenting hundreds of paintings, drawings, and artworks through a clean, hyperlinked interface built for Windows 3.1‑era systems. The disc combines high‑resolution scans (for the time), curator‑style text entries, and simple navigation tools that let users explore by artist, period, style, or theme. It’s one of the more polished examples of early multimedia reference software—part encyclopedia, part virtual gallery.
