If you work in a town or city centre and can be bothered, you can spend your lunch hours browsing pleasantly round contemporary art galleries.

But if you work on an industrial estate it is easier to visit britart.com, where you can view hundreds of works by artists such as Peter Blake, Anabel Martin and Marc Wilson from the comfort of your desk.

If you feel rich you can even buy one, with prices from £5 up to several thousand. Alternatively send a friend an "artcard" for free.
