How the Nordic Museums screensaver works
The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.
A rotating gallery from DigitaltMuseum, the shared catalogue of Norwegian and Swedish museums. Captions come through in Norwegian or Swedish because that is how the museums catalogued them, and the API key defaults to the public demo key the project publishes.
It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.
Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
