Concepts

The Gamborg Gallery web site consists logically of three levels. Level 1 is the category of exhibition (characterised by Artist or by Theme). At Level 2, under each of the categories, you will find a number of exhibitions. At Level 3, an exhibition contains a number of rooms (from 1 to 20 in each exhibition). In each room you will find six paintings, and basic information about each painting.

A third category of exhibitions are Your Own. You may have more than one of your personal exhibitions, but you will only have access to one exhibition at a time, by providing predefined login and password.

You can also bypass the rooms, and view the paintings in a slideshow directly from the exhibition. Here you will only see one painting at a time, and more information about each painting will be available. The painting will be of a bigger size.

Techincal Issues

It is only recommended to use the slideshow option if you have a high-speed internet connection (i.e. not with a dial-up modem).

The website has been optimized for MS Explorer, but other browsers should work as well. Please let us know if you experience any problems with other browsers.
