It's really a shame that it simply gives you the original files, not allowing very high res images (ie greater than 10.000 x 10.000). We built a tool for this that's being used by for instance Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum http://www.vangoghmuseum.nl/ , which allows for ultra-res images. The Met should also consider using http://micr.io/ or any similar technology.

Yes truly a shame that they gave us a ton of files for free use but they aren't as ULTRA HD as you would like..

Ofcourse the huge volume is great, it's awesome! But by only offering single high-res .jpg files instead of image tilesets just makes the viewing experience less than pleasant.. Downloads are slow, the pages are unresponsive, and I can imagine it's going to cost them tons of unneeded bandwidth.

I agree that "deep zooming" is desirable. Looks like Micrio doesn't support the International Image Interoperability Framework [0], something I think a museum would be interested in. Oh, and I hate that http://micr.io uses a fullscreen background image that highjacks the scroll wheel.

Thanks for your reply, you're right about that. Currently we've only been developing micr.io based on wishes we received, that includes features such as hotspots, tours, etc. See https://tuinderlusten-jheronimusbosch.ntr.nl/en for its first release. We simply haven't had the time yet!
