Sharepoint 2010 Art Gallery

I recently built an art gallery in Sharepoint 2010 using a sharepoint picture library as the datasource, an XML based art gallery as the home page slideshow, and shareoint 2010 search as the search engine.  I then used jquery libraries to enhance the functionality of the search results to make it more like search engines found in galleries like Moma and the Met. When you click on the image a lightbox pops up - we have plans to enhance this further with zooming capability. A jquery slideshow is used on the Slideshow tab.



To achieve the grid view I followed the last part of a very detailed 4 part series here: http://www.ableblue.com/blog/archive/2008/09/01/sharepoint-image-search-part-4/.  Many thanks to Matthew McDermott.
