Louvre Putting Entire Collection Online

The Louvre museum ( http://www.louvre.fr/louvrea.htm for English), the home of the Mona Lisa and 35,000 other exhibits, is planning to put all its exhibits online according to a story from Reuters ( sorry, gigantic URL )

In addition to the 35,000 exhibits, the Louvre is also planning to put online 130,000 drawings which are not on public display (they're too fragile.) It is expected that all 165,000 pieces should be online by 2003. Super cool.
