I've been also thinking about a similar project, but haven't gotten into those details yet. check these sites: www.lacma.org www.TheWalters.org www.nga.gov www.umich.edu/~umma www.siris.si.edu are just a couple to check! I think somewhere on the web, maybe even linked to the MCN site, is a list of Museums with collections online. Best of luck!
