According the CNN article, the digitization of the 'Ghent Altarpiece' was a "collaboration between the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage in Lukasweb, Belgium, and the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, and funded with support from the Getty Foundation in Los Angeles and the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research, the venture to digitally document the work...." The effort took 9 months and resulted 100 billion pixels that are viewable online.
Words can not describe the quality of the digitization! This is something that you must see in order to believe. So read the article, then view the piece online.
