The alt on the images is fine, although it probably should just be one
combined link for the image and the adjacent text link that leads to the
same place, in which case null alt would be appropriate.

This site could also have one of the longer summaries I've seen in a while
on a layout table (this should be removed entirely):
<TABLE BORDER = "0" CELLSPACING = "0" CELLPADDING = "0"
WIDTH = "100%" TITLE = "Navigation table"
SUMMARY = "This table has three sections. The upper left section
contains a small Access Art logo. The upper right
section has a graphic that says 'The Dayton Art
Institute.' The section below that contains a site
navigation menu.">

Within each image's page - the javascript-driven image-examination tool has
its own issues from the keyboard that are also worth looking into.

They clearly have made an effort with accessibility, but they've still got
work to do.
