would it be possible to add a discussion forum to objects?

[tvolm2291]

seeing painting that I had only read about in art history classes..yet when there was someone to speak with...the conversations were terrific....yet I think with google, many of the answers could be found more easily now. ..I recall fondly visiting the national museum in Oslo, the guy at the desk noticed I was interested, fascinated by a painting of a wounded soldier, he came over and spoke with pride, about the work....he also gave me a post card of it free. He said I should learn more about it

Great,had a blast last night with this, although the navigation, zoom takes a little getting use to, the other thing that would really help is a discussion forum. I traveled Europe solo in my early 20's, visiting most major museums. being alone allowed for some great conversations with strangers about art, some time I would come across a work, and just be stunned, but there were many occasions when I lacked someone to share the experience...
