Widget Watch: The Rijkswidget

Today's widget is for all you artsy types. The Rijkswidget is a Dashboard widget that displays one work of art per day that resides at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Flip the widget over, and view the name of the artist who created that particular piece, the year it was produced and a brief write-up. Finally, click a link on the widget's back to go to an informative page on the museum's website.

There's a Konfabulator version available as well. Viewing these masterworks on such a tiny scale hardly does them justice, but it's still nice.
