The problem (problem?) with big galleries, is that you have to go to them; in the case of some of the nation’s best, that means a 300 odd k drive (each way) from Sydney to see them in Canberra. While there is nothing nicer than spending time cruising the halls, it often means that most people not in the direct vicinity miss out on what’s going down.

The National Portrait Gallery though has an exhibition that comes to you, or your broadband line as the case might be.

Check out ‘Animated‘, the NPG’s first online exhibit.
