Has a massive array of weird old art and articles about weird old art. Has a 'shop' section, just like a real museum.

There are a few museum databases where you can look at their art online. I can’t think of the specific Italian ones but I know there are quite a few
The Getty museum in LA just added a bunch of stuff to theirs / opened it up (linked to it)
Maybe search a museum or artist followed by Creative Commons or open content!

a weird little free museum over on 107th and riverside. entirely dedicated to the work of nicholas roerich, who I didn’t know that much about before. crazy guy, very fun museum. covered a lot of interests of mine, folk art, theosophy, stravinsky, buddhism, eastern orthodoxy, 20th century politics. I also just love when museums have guestbooks you can sign, I always flip through them.

Finally got around to printing off a bunch of the essays and articles that I had saved on my computer for a while. I find it makes it easier to get myself to actually get around to reading some of the stuff. Paper is also a nicer reading experience, with less distractions and eye strain.

Any pi.fyi rec (by someone else, not yourself) that you saw and then acted on yourself - read the book, listened to the album, watched the movie, tried the activity, etc.

A search engine that filters out commercial websites so you can discover weird, small websites on different topics. I wouldn't use it as my main search engine but it's a cool way of finding stuff you otherwise wouldn't.
