There have been several small attempts but no coherent joined up effort. I really hope some galleries are digitising their collections via 3D scanning. Viewing something like a Van Gogh in VR without some real texture and depth is not convincing. Some of that paint is 5mm off the canvas. You can see that from a fair distance.

It is nice that these pictures now are pretty high resolution, so you can actually see quite a lot of the texture even if it is just 2d. Sure it is nothing compared to physical painting, but compared to your average low-res pictures it still feels like a significant step up.
