Google Art Project Brings Galleries To Your PC

Zothecula writes "Google has announced a collaboration with 17 of the world's most acclaimed art museums that lets people view over 1,000 high res-artwork images and 17 gigapixel images while taking a virtual stroll through their galleries using Street View technology. While nothing can beat seeing a work of art in person, the Google Art Project could be the next best thing for those without the time and money to pop on a plane and trade elbows with crowds of tourists looking to catch a glimpse of what some of the best museums have on offer."

Anyone found a way to reparent highly rated comments or stop the hiding? The slider on the left says: 0 Hidden, but in fact almost everything below discussion root is hidden. To me it seems like the only way to actually show comments is by browsing raw.
