It was very difficult to find the right free component, module or plugin to meet the client's request for a specific artwork gallery display within a limited budget. Many components, modules and plugins that are purchased did not satisfy the project task. At art galleries, it is always necessary to see the actual image of the work of art, not a cropped one. Also, it should contain a strictly prescribed, publicly visible, museological description of each work. And that it has the option "click on the small image to show the big one". And everything to be perfectly designed.
After testing many components, modules and plugins (and spending a lot of time) I made a compromise solution: I used Bootstrap (cards) and the free version of the modal module. That combination satisfied the client and saved me a lot of work and time. When it comes to common photo galleries, there are excellent free components, modules and plugins, but sometimes that's not enough.
I believe that this experience will help many. Many thanks to Regular Labs (Peter van Westen) for the free Modal plugin.
