Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing!
Review: I didn't have any difficulties with this box set, and in fact, this is my favorite software program, yet! The quality was excellent for all 5 CDs, and at such a great, low, convenient price! My whole family and I enjoyed it, and we learned so much! It was a lot of fun!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I loved it
Review: I had absolutely no problem installing or running the program. I especially like the classical musical score that runs in the background. It is extremely easy to use and has lots of beautiful photos of art works and tons of info about each piece. I am planning a trip to Europe this spring and find this program a great way to prepare for what I plan on viewing in person. Highly recommended!

Summary: Not too shabby
Review: I had trouble loading one cd, but the rest worked well. I called the tech support and the problem got solved. The images are all very sharp. Overall, I enjoyed it. Even though I had problem loading one CD, getting 5 for the price was worth it for me.

Summary: DON'T BUY THIS SET OF CD'S!
Review: I purchased this set of five CD's and got ready to enjoy an art appreciation tour of Europe's museums. Forget it! I could never get any of the Louvre CD's run, even after successful setup of EACH CD and it was dicy whether the other CD's would run. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. Such a good idea.

As one reviewer remarked, 'the software is buggy." I have a new HP Pavillon computer with 200 Gigs of hard drive and fast AMD Athlon processor, and make my living as a software engineer, so it's not the computer.

I tossed them. TOO BAD! Maybe there's something similar that WORKS!

Summary: Not What It's Hyped Up To Be
Review: I thought, from looking at the material presented on it, that it would be useful. It has lovely multimedia but it has very fuzzy images. For the paintings that aren't considered "masterworks" the images or even fuzzier. Its a lovely overview but I don't reccomend it for reference or educational use. It takes about an hour to see all that it has to offer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Money well spent!
Review: I was really looking forward to seeing the art but I put the CD's in and nothing happened. At all! I knew it wasn't my computer and tried all of the CDs. What a disappointment. I returned it and hope to find something similar that works! Maybe I just got a bad set.

Summary: Not too shabby
Review: Just a word to the wise, I purchased three different copies of this software, and every single one came up with the same problem. I couldn't load the last 3 cd's. I have a Dell Pentium 3 450Mhz computer with 16 gigs of hard drive space, so I know it wasn't my computer. This product never worked and I would have to dicourage any person looking to puchase it. What a disapointment!

Summary: Technical problems with Great Museums
Review: The five cd's required individual setup for each one. Never could get the third Louvre disk (Egyptian/Italian Art) to load properly. Tried two different computers. Initial viewing of other disks look interesting and informative. I sometimes get a peculiar "double exposure" appearing presentation on the slide shows. I don't know if it is a problem or is intended as some artsie effect. I guess I have paid more for worse programs.
