Add Art firefox plugin to replace browser ads

I think this is pretty cool : Ads while you’re browsing are constantly becoming more and more intrusive and annoying (it’s one of the reasons I don’t mind google’s unobtrusive text ads usually).

The Add Art firefox plugin works in conjunction with AdBlock (also part of the download) to block the incoming ads and place a curated art exhibit in their place. The images are local so as not to slow down your browsing experience.

Love this. Anything to beautify the browsing landscape. Now if I could just somehow to do the same with billboards in the real world.

I’d really love it if this was somehow linked to a “learn about classical art” exhibit where you could use it to identify and learn more about art history in general (though not sure how that would work).
