Hey Kaushal, Thanks a ton for these ideas.
Yeah, the 'Art Gallery' page itself will be just the JS based project I will deploy, but I'll keep that in mind to just maybe roll with custom template static generated sites for the other sections since I think the only way to get close to that look and feel is to run with one of the ideas you mentioned.
