With Open Eyes and 50 similar items

Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Whose eyes are open wider than a child's? Who says adults have to lose that sense of discovery? And what's more fun to look at than a great work of art? That's just what this beautiful and imaginative CD-ROM explores. Now children--and anyone else who's ever felt as though most museums weren't designed for them--can get close to wonderful objects and paintings, spend as much time with them as they feel like, and find out all sorts of interesting things in the process. Spectacular full-screen pictures of over 200 works of art from The Art Institute of Chicago's enormous collection are accompanied by audio clips that make viewers look closer, or laugh, or think twice about what they're looking at. Half the fun is wondering what picture's going to pop up next; it could be a Japanese kimono, an impressionist landscape, an Egyptian mummy case, or a Picasso portrait. Access the collection by geography or time period, or opt for an automated slide show. Any object can be seen in a virtual gallery for an instant sense of scale, and multiple close-ups zoom in on details from Seurat's brushwork to the tiny bugs hidden in a Dutch still-life. Hundreds of games--one for each image--use these great works of art in literally hundreds of fun and ingenious ways.
