TerminalMuseum
Add a unique museum-like experience to your terminal!
TerminalMuseum is a CLI tool that displays a new piece of classical art on your terminal every time you run it.
Installation
Use the package manager pip to install TerminalMuseum.
pip install terminalmuseum
Usage
The command to display images varies between terminal emulators, and many can not display images at all. I personally recommend using kitty with TerminalMuseum, as images are displayed in native resolution and loaded very quickly.
kitty
If you use kitty, you don't need to install any additional tools. Just add these lines to your .bashrc:
terminalmuseum --command "kitty +kitten icat" --print_titleimgcat
Many terminal emulators don't natively support displaying images. In these cases you can use tools like imgcat. After installation add these lines to your .bashrc:
terminalmuseum --command "imgcat" --print_titleArt
The Art used in this project is in the public domain and was filtered and downloaded via the openaccess project of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
