In plain words

Semantic search over the National Gallery of Art is a search tool that lets users find artwork in the National Gallery's collection using natural language queries rather than traditional keywords. It's designed for art enthusiasts, researchers, and casual visitors who want to explore paintings and sculptures by describing what they're looking for. The tool uses semantic understanding to match user descriptions to artworks, making it easier to discover pieces based on themes, styles, or visual characteristics rather than artist names or titles alone.

  • I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js.
