How about teleporting into a French museum for your next Zoom meeting?

As more and more countries are re-implementing lockdown measures, Zoom video conferences are once again becoming the norm – that is if they weren't already. But some home office workers are not keen on showing their interior to their colleagues. And that's where France's national library, the BnF comes in, offering artistic desktop wallpapers to liven up your Zoom or Skype meetings.

What kind of background would you choose? A black and white photo showing Claude Monet in his studio or a sketch of an opera set by painter Pierre-Luc Charles Cicéri? You may want your colleagues to be treated to a view of a Jean-Baptiste Debret illustration rather than the clothes piling up in your messy bedroom.
